Is it effective in loosing weight? If so how much? What is the most effective stroke to do? Eg. front crawl etc? And how many lengths of a swimming pool is a good amount? Thank you for help x

for a 17 year old male:

20 minutes intense swimming: front crawl, butterfly and breast stroke at fast speeds with quick breaks in between .

1 hour weightlifting: using medium weight free-weights, with some use of machines. press-ups and ab workout, with stretching done continuously throughout entire workout.

(I know i am too young to be lifting heavy weights, so i only lift light-medium ones)

to be repeated 3-4 times each week?

if I alternate between front crawl and breastroke?
Also, what am I actually working on when I do this?
And, how good is it compared to say a km of running on a treadmill

Since I only know the terms in other language, it’s hard for me to read all the “workouts” (for ex. what does pull, kick, etc mean?) And do most of the workout pertrain only to the front crawl? I want to work on my technique since it has been a while. Any ideas or thoughts?

Everytime I get out of the pool it looks like my hair was in a chemical spill, dry and stiff. I go to the salon once a week and after the pool you can’t tell I went. What do I do?
