Best stroke to stay in shape...

Hey there. I started doing a particular workout regimen at my local college's gym, which involved quite a bit of swimming. I started noticing that most of the guys on the swim team had the type of build I'm going for- especially in the shoulders, upper back, and chest. I was thinking of working in some new strokes and was wondering what you guys think leads to this physique- freestyle? butterfly? I know they do a combination, but I imagine you seasoned swimmers out there must know which are the best for these muscle groups. Thoughts?

    They'll all work you good and devlop your lats and shoulders. Breaststroke will definitely build more chest power...hence the "***" part. If you're kicking hard the legs will develop well too. If you can do them, do a bit of all. FR is the "bread and butter" stroke for most folks though.
