What is the best swimming style to lose belly fat?

There’s no single "best" stroke for belly fat loss. Instead, integrating mixed strokes into your routine—such as freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, all of which engage your core—along with targeted exercises like water crunches, proves most effective. When it comes to maximum calorie burn, the butterfly stroke stands out thanks to its high intensity and full-body muscle activation, though it’s hard to maintain for long. Mixing strokes, however, creates a more balanced, sustainable, and less strenuous workout that still supports fat loss and core toning.
