⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Swimming burns 400-700 calories per hour — more than running at the same perceived effort. It is also zero-impact, making it ideal for injury recovery and lifelong fitness. The barrier to entry is technique: a 30-minute lesson can improve your efficiency (and enjoyment) more than months of uncoached practice.
