That is a matter of opinion, but many swimmers would say YES.
Swimming is EXTREMELY physically demanding and difficult and it can get anyone, no matter how fit they are, breathing hard.

I personally think that swimming is harder because it requires more endurance and cardio. But gymnastics require a ton of practise and perfection. Overall I think swimming burns more calories and get your heart rate pumping.
yes, they're both endurance sports, but swim requires more muscle usage
He's right
In swimming you used your entire body
Tack and swimming are both sports that you can get reach your limit. What I mean is, let's take Golf: No matter how hard you hit the ball, will you ever break a sweat at golf?
No. However, swimming and track are both sports that you will get very tired from and burn many calories.
Here is the killing argument:
The average student person at my high-school runs a 7:00 mile.
If you can somehow constantly go 25m/15 seconds in swimming the whole way, you will swim 1 mile in a little over 16 minutes.
This means it takes much more time of your suffering to get the same distance you would get while running
Remember that swimming causes suffering just as much, or maybe more than track (since you use your whole body) for the same amount of time
swimming is alot easyier than gymnastic cause if ur not good at splits and flips in the air gymnastics is like circus. with lions and crazy people.
