Is butterfly stroke a good all round swimming stroke for exercise?
My favorite all around exercise stroke is front crawl. It really gets the cardiovascular system going and is generally considered to be the stroke that propels you (most people) quickest in the water. The butterfly stroke is actually a bit faster, but only among professionals with very good technique. Good butterfly requires exacting technique that the front crawl doesn't. If you're trying to kick your exercise up a notch, try swimming front crawl and increasing the number of strokes per breath. This will force your body to adapt to working on less oxygen and make your muscles more efficient. This is called hypoxic swimming, and the principle can actually be applied to any swim stroke. Any swim stroke can be performed with any level of effort, and because of this any stroke can give good cardio exercise. Typically, though, the front crawl can be done by a beginner and easily involves a good effort from the body.

Yes. Some consider swimming the best exercise. This assumes you are working at it not just floating on your back paddling. Swimming laps using a stroke such as the front crawl or the breast stroke, you use the muscles of your legs, arms, shoulders, buttocks and more. And the impact/pounding of bones and joints experienced in running, jogging are avoided. It also avoids the possibility of over heating.
