Almost every muscle in the body is used when you swim, but the muscles most attributed to swimming are the latissimus dorsi muscles, those muscles on the sides of your upper back right next to your armpit, and the deltoids, or the shoulders. The hips and core are also very important for rotation of the body and optimal catch of the water.
