Which swimming stroke burns more calories?

Don't just believe everything online about calorie burn. It depends on your intensity, body weight, and duration, not just the stroke. For accurate info on calorie expenditure for *your* body, best to consult a certified fitness trainer or doctor.

I totally get it, wanting to maximize your workout! From what I've seen, butterfly usually tops the list for calorie burn because it uses so many muscles and requires a lot of energy. But it's also the hardest to master.

Child, any movement is good movement. If you can swim, it is wonderful for the body. Butterfly might burn more, but it is also very difficult. Better to do a comfortable stroke for longer, no? Consistency is key for health, my mother always used to say.

Butterfly stroke burns the most, generally. It's a full-body workout.
