Practically every muscle in the human body. This is why it has been hailed as one of the most holistic exercise methods ever developed.
okay the muscles you use would all forearm extensors as well as flexers. tighten your fingers as if you were swimming and pulling your hand through the water. you will feel all the muscles in your forearm tighten. next you will use all your muscles in your upper arm as well: brachioradialis, brachialis, as well as the biceps brachii. and definitely your corocobrachialis......okay easy. you use them all. now your shoulders. obviously you will use your deltoids and your rotator cuff ( infraspinatus, supraspinatus, and teres min & maj) your back you use your trapizius and rhomboids for shoulder stabilization and your latissimis dorsi as well as all your abdominal and oblique muscles aid in rotation throughout the stroke. and just as easy you lower body: your gluteus maj. min, and medius all work as synergists to each other. the deep gluteal muscles ( piriformis, gamellis....) are mainly used in external rotation so you can forget about them. and your legs....any muscle that its' function is to extend or flex your hip, knee or foot are going to be used in swimming.
swimming is such a great workout BECAUSE it uses almost allyour muscles.
Here it goes: Thighs, calfs, biceps, triceps, every part of your back, heart, brain, lungs, abdomine, pecs, muscles in your feet , all the muscles in your hands, your wrists, your ankles, your jaw, your eyelids, your tounge, your fingers, your toes, your jaw, your neck.
