The front crawl is the fastest and most common stroke, primarily working your core, hips, shoulders, back and legs. It requires you to constantly kick and continuously lift your arms in and out of the water whilst keeping your body straight.
It strengthens your core muscles and works the major muscles in your arms and legs as well as improves the flexibility of your hips. Usually favoured by beginners and those less experienced, breaststroke is a slower and more gentle technique working the whole body.
Your chest, arms, thighs, back and legs are the areas of the body worked most when performing this style. Any form of swimming you do is going to be beneficial for your health. Every month we organise our incredibly popular swimming virtual challenges to help people lose weight and achieve their personal goals in an enjoyable but challenging manner.

Butterfly is the most recently developed stroke, first used in competition in It is a little more efficient than breaststroke , but is considerably faster because the overhead arm return reduces water drag. Front crawl is the fastest. This is because it uses a body roll and out-of-water arm return, that reduce drag at the shoulder. It also uses a kick that further minimises drag by keeping the legs behind the body. Versions of this stroke can be seen in ancient Egyptian art from around years ago.
Indeed, many people now think that freestyle is the name of that stroke style. So, for maximum energy usage over a given distance, swim fast and choose butterfly or breaststroke. But bear in mind that the efficiency of propulsion drops and energy expenditure increases with age.
