Question

What are the most important muscles for freestyle swimming?

Answer 1

For any stroke your shoulder muscles are extremely important, so I'd rank that first.

Bisceps, quads, calves, triceps, and abs are all very important.  Swimming uses just about every muscle in your body so it's difficult to just choose a few!

Answer 2

I'd say your lats (the muscles that go from your hip to your armpit). But also your abs and back muscles.

Answer 3

The most important muscle groups for freestyle are:

Triceps

Lats

Core

Quads

Answer 4

lats and biceps.  Bro upper body muscles but if u over work ur pex ull start to slow down for many reasons

but dont forget your legs to

Answer 5

Your shoulders and lats. Followed closely by triceps, then biceps and forearm and core. Then Legs.

The BEST exercise to do for swimming out of the pool is pull ups (palms facing away. Not to be confused with chin ups). This works forearm, biceps, triceps, and especially shoulders and lats.
