What muscles are used during freestyle and butterfly in the upper body?

I am on the swimming team at my school and do sprints in the freestyle and butterfly. I had weak arms at the begining and wanted to get a head start this year and get some weight training in before so I can have faster times in the begining. What are the muscles to work on and what are some workouts I could do to get them stronger and more prepared?|||Lats, the muscles on your back below your shoulders, and definitely your shoulders. Also work out a lot of chest for butterfly and other parts of your back by doing rowing type exercises. Your triceps do a lot of work on your freestyle pull.





The 3 top muscles would be lats, triceps, and shoulders, but you really need to work out everything. Abs are very important in general and for your turns. Quads are good for your starts and pushes off the wall. Other parts of your legs for kick. Mak sure when you work out, work out everything.|||legs and core and back


use weights every day for atleast 20 min


focus on the legs and back for the most part, the core is important but your kick has to be the strongest.
