Calories for swimming?

Does swimming breaststroke burn more calories than swimming freestyle?

  • cuz it seems harder.......i can't swim as long with freestyle as i can with breaststroke......but is it burning more calories?

  • Answer:

    probably not. it all depends on how fast you are swimming (like RPMs) and your heartrate. freestyle usually works up more of a heartrate then breaststroke. hope this helps.

Butterfly burns the most calories of them all! So swim that...and of course the harder an action is the more calories it burns.

butterfly is the most calorie burner. the free, back then breast, unless u r sprinting. then breast is harder. the more you get better the more you burn cuz u r going faster

the only measure for burning calories is your heart rate and amount of lactic acid in your blood . now about the difficulty ; butterfly is hardest one then comes freestyle and then breast and back stroke. for ex. for professional adult swimmers every 2.5 m of freestyle swimming ( moderate speed ) burns 1 calorie when swimming 1m butterfly at same speed burs the same amount of calories ....
