Long slow intervals are the best for burning fat during the workout. That they are best for weight loss,is a common misconception spread by many Health Clubs. If you swim faster you will burn more calories. These calories will be primarily from carbs during the workout,but in the recovery your body will replace them from fat(or from the extra Big Mac and fries) This is complicated by the fact that you need to replace glycogen with carbs and a little protein after a hard workout or your muscles will suffer. None the les, the fastest way to burn off extra fat is harder exercise.
