What would be a fairly good estimate for the number of calories burned if you swam a 50 minute mile medley (mostly breast and free style, but also back and fly) when you used a kick board and a leg-clampy-thing? I'm not looking for an exact number, but a fairly small range would be appreciated.
Thanks!

363 is what I got for a 50 minute moderate workout. But I don't know how much you weigh or how hard you were working. You can plug in your particulars (it has different strokes available.)

- It depends on how fast you are swimming the mile. If you are going easy the whole way and not be able to raise your heart rate too much. It's not going to burn too many calories. So the key is, if you bring up your heart rate, then you will burn more.
