4. Breaststroke
The easiest and fastest for me, is breast stroke. But the best for burning calories faster is front crawl. I still prefer breast stroke - it just takes time to get your heart really working ;]
the most popular stroke for swimming would obviously be, front crawl. this is why, in freestyle, most people choose front crawl and not back stroke, butterfly or breaststroke.
Mainly freestyle (frontcrawl) It's the stoke that most people will be taught first. But others may have been taught to do breastroke. Strokes on the front are easier to learn.
