I started swimming when I was 9 and quit when i was around 16-17.. Never really got into it; but Im tryin to get back into shape and I HATE RUNNING and i still remember everything that the swim coach taught me
So my question is;
What should I swim, or what routine should I do, to have all my muscles be working and to get that full body workout. Cuz i swam today and was just swimmin freestyle and ***-stoke and Im guessin that if i kept on doin that, only certain muscles are working..
And a random question IM'S ; whats the order to an IM
is it freestyle, backstroke, ***-stroke, butterfly (i forgot):doh:

IM order is Fly, Back, ***, Free (as Hoosier said), but I once saw a kid do it Fly, ***, Back, Free and he clobbered the competition... And he wasn't any faster of a swimmer than the rest of the guys. Hmm, maybe we should change the order.
Anyway, if you want to get a full body workout it is important that you practice all the strokes. The variety is good and it keeps your muscles guessing, which is good for getting in shape. Also, dolphin kicking on your back or side is a great way to strengthen your core. Fins are a fun way to work your legs, and they make you really fast. Have fun!
