How to Use the Swimming Calorie Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to use the Swimming Calorie Calculator to estimate the calories you’ve burned during your swimming sessions. Follow the instructions below to input your information and receive your personalized calculation results.

Step 1: Enter Your Weight

The first step is to provide your weight. Locate the input field labeled Weight (kg). Enter your weight in kilograms into this field. Ensure the value you enter is between 30 and 300 kg, as these are the accepted limits for weight input. You can use increments of 0.1 kg for precise input.

Step 2: Specify Swimming Duration

Next, you’ll need to input the duration of your swimming activity. Find the field named Duration (minutes). Enter the number of minutes you spent swimming. The valid range for this input is between 1 and 480 minutes. Make sure to enter whole numbers as this field only accepts step increments of 1 minute.

Step 3: Select Swimming Style & Intensity

The third step involves selecting your swimming style and intensity. Look for the dropdown menu labeled Swimming Style & Intensity. Choose the option that best matches your swimming activity from the list of available styles and intensities. The choices include various swimming styles, such as:

• Leisurely, recreational swimming
• Backstroke, general
• Breaststroke, recreational or vigorous
• Freestyle, slow or fast
• Butterfly
• Competition swimming

Each option is associated with a specific intensity value used in the calorie calculation.

Step 4: View Your Results

After providing the required inputs, the calculator will process your data using the specified formulae. You’ll see two results:

• Calories Burned: This value represents the total estimated calories burned during your swim, displayed in kcal.
• Calories Burned Per Hour: This is the calculated rate of calories burned per hour based on your input, also presented in kcal/hour.

Both results will be rounded to the nearest whole number for clarity.

Conclusion

You have now successfully used the Swimming Calorie Calculator to estimate the calories burned during your swimming activity. Keep in mind that these estimates can help guide your fitness goals and monitor your swimming efforts. Feel free to adjust the inputs to explore different scenarios or repeat the process for multiple swim sessions.
