Since everyone's body is different we can't give you an accurate answer. Buy a water resistant heart rate monitor that shows Calories burned for you true answer. I use an HRM everytime I work out, they're great.
you'd burn 500 calories per hour.
There is no way to Know how many calories Unless you are watching with a calarie burn machine thingy but yet again even some times those are off....if you swin casual for an hour i would say 300-700 Calories if u go high tense for an hour i say 1000-1500 easy
for the average person you should be less conserned with weight then you are general health. weight should not be an issue if you are healthy. with that in mind....

depending on your size probably around 500. its close to 500 calories per hour per 100 lbs of weight
It depends on your weight and such really. I just looked it up and if you weigh around 160 lbs you burn 511 calories an hour. If you weight around 200lbs you burn 637 calories an hour. And if you weigh around 240 lbs you can burn up to 760 Calories. I hope this has helped some. I found this out by going here..... http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercis...
Assuming you are 60 Kilos and 30 years and do a moderate swimming for 45 minutes you will loose like 280 kcal.
It depends on your weight/Height/Age/Intensity of swimming. *
Swimmings great. It's a low impact workout for your whole body.
Wish I did it.
If you really wanna be realistic then you can lose 4-5 lbs a week. Losing 30lbs should take roughly 6weeks. Simply lower your eating intake by 1/3 and eat as soon as you get hungry. This will increase your body's metabolism and help to burn that excess energy instead of storing it as fat.
(Most importantly avoid light snacks in-between meals as this will increase your food intake without you even realising it).
Also some exercises, nothing too drastic. Just 20 sit-ups in the morning, 20 sit-ups at night before bed. 10 push-ups morning and night and some extended brisk walks up-to 30minutes a day (a slightly hilly terrain is ideal), and a 15min jog only once a week. (and increase the number of walks/sit-ups etc as you get used to them).
Follow this regime and your 30 lbs should drop within 6 weeks. And the best thing of all you really don't have to drastically change your diet or even exert yourself during exercise. And can actually be enjoyable. With this method, your not actually dieting, it;'s more of a lifestyle change.
P.S. Walking on hilly terrain, at steep angles is great, probably the best from of buttock and leg exercise, they get real firm! (and do some light weights if you feel like it).
And Drink plenty of water - preferably 5litres on average, this will help replenish your body, rehydrate your skin - it will have a healthy glow and also give you a more accurate reading of your weight when you weigh yourself as the initial weight loss is due to a lack of water retention.
If you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism doesn't get started until you DO eat. You body goes into 'fat storing mode', just in case it doesn't get fed again for a long time. Its a defence/survival mechanism. Can I suggest that you have a good breakfast before anything else. Don't plan your day around food and eat when you're hungry and not fanciful. Stop eating when your tummy feels full. If you chew slowly the brain tells you are full a lot quicker.
704 calories are burnt in an hours vigorous swimming and 563 calories for a less active swim. Thus 45 minutes would be 528 and 422 calories respectively.
