I've read in a few web sites that you burn less calories swimming freestyle than using a breaststroke, is this true ? why ?
Can anyone expand on this concept ?

This makes sense, if heart rate is any indicator. I have proven this to myself by wearing a heart monitor while swimming. My heart rate gets higher doing breaststroke sprints than it does while sprinting any other stroke.
