Swimming

[Hitler]

I have started swimming again 1 mile 4-5 times per week. How many calories does this burn per session? I do it front crawl fast with regular breaks to catch my breath.

Not sure about how many calories you burn Hitler, just wanted to congratulate you on starting swimming again.

I go swimming a lot. It's so good for body & mind - it can also help you sleep later too!

I'd like to know, if you don't mind, why your using Hitler as a username?.
