    I do freestyle because it's the only stroke that I know how to do decent.

      Quick question: How many heavyweight champs were unable to swim? I am curious about that.

        Butterfly is the best stroke

          butterfly's great for sprinting.
          freestyle's great for distance.
          if you can do a 500m butterfly without resting, you can fight

            There are many, many other ways to emphasize water rather than swimming in traditional fashion. Boxing is an unnatural act, so why swim naturally? Shadowbox in 4, 5 ft of water until muscular fatigue maintaining technique. Throw lots of power shots underwater maintaining proper technique. Buy those water resistance things and shadowbox with those until muscular fatigue. I guess you could warm up or finish off with some laps of any kind of stroke, but like the aforementioned there are far, far better ways to use the water to your pugilistic advantage.
