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?

This is great advice. Swimming one stroke solely is B-O-R-I-N-G. Even if you stink at the stroke, diversifying your workout will improve your best stroke, I think anyway. The one exception might be ***, which is sort of an island unto itself, a nearly impossible stroke to master, especially if you learned it as a kid in the 70s.
