A member asked:
How many calories does one burn if swimming for 2 hours, and does swimming build muscle or just tone it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calories & exercise: It is impossible to answer your question accurately. The amount of calories burned in an activity just has too many possible variables. But, swimming is an excellent exercise for mind, body, and spirit. Keep it up.
