    Treading Water

    Can find all sorts of calories burned for swimming.. but not for treading water.

    So I ask... is this legitimate "exercise"? Cant even use it for the Pres. Fitness Challenge... sigh..

    Any thoughts?

      Re: Treading Water

      I found it at www.caloriesperhour.com. There are two entries under "Swimming"-- "Swimming -- Treading water, moderate" and "Swimming -- Treading water, vigorous".

      You're not burning as many calories as actual swimming, but you burn more than walking ("for exercise - 3.5mph") for the same time duration. Not bad!

          Thanks for sharing. That is interesting to know. I'm not much of a swimmer, but love to be in water - good to know I'm buring a little.
