Running 1 mile is equal to swimming 500 to 640 meters at a moderate pace when it comes to burning calories. Even though both the exercises are vastly different, their calorie burning impact is very similar. Same amount of calories is burnt while swimming and running for the same amount of time.
If you are swimming at a pretty decent pace you should burn more calories than running because you are using more body muscles, like your arms, legs, back muscles, and abs.
It entirely depends on your work-out intensity. Swimming and ruining burned the most calories.

If someone is swimming for 35 minutes just for fun, it will burn around 300 calories. If swimming using specialized strokes, it could burn up to 500 calories.
How many calories are burned when swimming depends on the person's weight and the size of the pool. For a person who weighs 150 pounds in a pool that is 25 yards in length they will burn 414 calories for an hour of doing a front crawl.

Nike carries shoes that can track how far, long, and fast you have ran in addition to your calories burned. If you're looking for a cheaper route, you may consider a step counter which can (less accurately) help you determine your calories burned.
