Efficient swimming at low Reynolds numbers is a major concern of microbots.
To compare the efficiencies of different swimmers we introduce the notion of
``swimming drag coefficient'' which allows for the ranking of swimmers. We find
the optimal swimmer within a certain class of two dimensional swimmers using
conformal mappings techniques.
