Does anyone know what muscles are worked when you do the freestyle or crawl during swimming? How about the breast stroke?

someone else asked the same thing about free and backstrokes so refer to my answer on that page, just search what muscles are used in freestyle

I think all muscles of the body are being used, except for the external anal sphincter. Of course there's emphasis on the triceps and lats during freestyle, and generally your shoulder, scapular, calf and thigh muscles, too.
