Answer #1

all of em :O

the general rule is the faster you are swimming the more calories you burn just dont over do it ;)

Answer #2

Really? Oooo i thought one of them burnt more thank you :D

Answer #3

I would think it would be front crawl, backstroke is a little more “relaxing” than front crawl. But it’s still pree close to being the same. Faster and longer swimming is really the thing that makes you burn calories.

Answer #4

i never heard of front crawl… is that freestyle? i would assume they all burn close to the same amount of calories i think the butterfly stroke, even though you didnt list it would burn the most calories because it takes alot of muscle and energy to do it correctly. Longer you do it the more calories you will burn and if you do it a long time at a fast pace then you will burn alot. Goodluck

Answer #5

Yes,i think frontcrawls sometimes called freestyle not sure though. And i didn’t post Butterfly stroke because ive never been able to do it pahaha x]

Answer #6

oh haha
