What are some of the best kinds of swimming strokes for a good cardio workout?

Question

I

Answer 1

well there's four strokes

freestyle

backstroke

butterfly

breaststroke

the strokes you swim and the amount of time you can swim them depends on your swimming ability. If you're begginning, just start out with freestyle or backstroke. If you know all the strokes decently, go ahead and swim your own workout!

Just keep moving, or swimming, in this case lol. Try to increase your intensity and number or laps each time.

~happy swimming~

Answer 2

Freestyle is better than backstroke. The controlled breathing will actually make it a better cardio workout.  BUT-- good backstroke is better than bad freestyle.

Answer 3

Freestyle is the most swum for longer sets of swimming, though breaststroke burns the most calories.  But as long as you are getting your heart rate to your target heart rate, then it doesn't really matter which stroke you're doing to achieve the benefits of swimming.

Answer 4

i think backstroke,because you dont have to moniter your breathing
