Swimming on its own is pretty low impact, and your heart rate is going to be lower compared to running or cycling. So, you'll need to push yourself a bit harder in order to have a bigger caloric burn.

QuestionI'm a swimmer and I have been swimming as long as I can remember. My team members are usually super skinny, fit, and look like swimmers, yet there I am looking like I'm new there.

QuestionIn menopause, inner thighs are flabby and looks pitted with cellulite. Will front crawl tone them up?Tom De BackerTop AnswererYes. But it may take a while. Swimming (any style) is a great way to reduce overall body fat and get your body in shape without putting too much stress on it from weights or impact. So if you keep swimming, sure, you'll get leaner. But not if you don't also eat healthy, drink lots of water and, most of all, sleep well. You'd be surprised how much a regular sleeping pattern helps with everything. Exercise is only a small part of weight loss.

QuestionDoes it also help to get a thigh gap?Community AnswerSometimes. Free and back strokes use mostly the quads (front of the leg), illipsoas (front, top of hip), hamstrings (back of leg), and lower glute. Breast, though, uses the adductors - if those get large, then your thigh gap is lost to muscle. Fly kick uses mostly the quad, hamstring, and core. Keep in mind that these all use the inner thigh muscle, too, if done properly, but appropriate stretching can prevent them from getting too bulky.
