Physics Question on Energy Transformations?

Hi everyone,
I am having a little trouble understanding real-life applications of these energy transformations. Here's an example question for my test:

As Michael Phelps swims with a constant speed, what energy transformation takes place?

Echem-->Ethermal
Echem-->kinetic
Kinetic--->Echem
Kinetic-->Ug
Ug-->Kinetic

I think it is either Ech-->Eth or Ech--->K, but I am not sure. Also is there an explaination so that I could answer any types of these questions?Another example would be energy transformation when running at constant speed.

Thanks!
