Summer Pool Time

This Sparked Me!

Even when it seems like it's too hot outside to do anything productive...there is always a pool open somewhere. Swimming is a great way to burn calories without much effort. Just treading water helps burn those pesky calories in a jiffy. I went swimming for an hour yesterday then tracked it on here and it ended up being over 1000 calories burned. Last one in is a rotten egg!

    I'm not sure how accurate Spark is when it comes to swimming. I take my daughter swimming on a regular basis but I don't think that me swimming with my 5 year old is the same as someone swimming laps for an hour.
