die Entspannung oder das Entspannen

[naive arch]

1. Ich gehe zum Entspannen am liebsten schwimmen.
2. Ich gehe zur Entspannung am liebsten schwimmen.

Welcher Satz ist richtig?

[dusty stag]

1. I prefer to go swimming to relax.
2. I prefer to go swimming for relaxation.

Both are correct

You can think of it as this way:

1. You would use the first sentence if you are asked why you prefer swimming the most.

2. You would use the second sentence if you are asked what do you prefer most for relaxation.
