BUTTERFLY STROKE

It is the second fastest competitive stroke, and the favorite stroke of Olympic legend Michael Phelps.

BACK STROKE

The initial position is lying on your back with arms and legs stretched straight out. While swimming all the body should stay close to the surface of water.

ELEMENTARY BACKSTROKE

This is a variation from the typical backstroke you see. It uses a reversed breaststroke kick while your arms move in sync beneath the water. It's called "elementary" because of its simple technique that's easy to pick up, and is often one of the fist swim strokes taught to new swimmers for this reason

ELEMENTARY BACKSTROKE

This stroke is often taught to children using fun nicknames for the parts of the movement. Bring your hands to your armpits like a monkey, spread your arms like an airplane, then push them down to your sides like a soldier.

FREESTYLE/FRONT CRAWL

fastest technique.

SIDE STROKE

older swimming style that is not typically used in swim competitions, but is still an important stroke to learn for safety reasons. It is most commonly used by lifeguards

BREAST STROKE

performed with your stomach facing down. Your arms move simultaneously beneath the surface of the water in a half circular movement in front of your body. Your legs perform the whip kick at the same time. The whip kick is executed by bringing your legs from straight behind you close to your body by bending both at your knees and at your hips. Your legs then move outward and off to the side before extending and coming back together. This swimming technique is often compared to a frog's movement.

BACKSTROKE

while f bating on your back, alternate your arms with a windmill-like motion to propel yourself backwards. Like the front crawl, your arms should start the circular motion by pushing underwater and recovering above water. Your legs should engage in a f utter kick. Your face should be above the surface as you look straight up

BACKSTROKE

Keep your body as straight as possible, with a slight decline in the lower body to keep your legs underwater. Don't allow your hips to get too low or your body to bend too much or it will slow you down. Keep your legs close together and use the motion from your hips to get a more powerful kick.

SIDE STROKE

One way to remember it iis by comparing it to apple picking. Your first arm will stretch above your head and pick an apple, then your hands will meet in front of your chest.

FREE STYLE/FRONT CRAWL

To execute this, you lie on your stomach with your body parallel to the water. Propel yourself forward with alternating arm movements in a sort of windmill motion that starts by pushing underwater and recovers above water.

BACKSTROKE

Your face will remain out of the water, but you will still want to be cognizant of your breathing rhythm. Again, match your breaths to your strokes.

BUTTERFLY STROKE

Your legs will perform a dolphin kick, which requires your legs to stay together and straight as you kick them similarly to how a dolphin's lower body and tail moves. Move your body in a fluid wave-like motion

FREESTYLE/FRONT CRAWL

a swimming style commonly referred to us the front crawl. It is regularly used in competitions. Most swimmers choose to swim front crawl during freestyle competitions as it is the fastest technique.

BUTTERFLY STROKE

an advanced swimming stroke that provides an excellent workout. It can be more dif cult and tiring to learn, but it is also a lot of fun

BREAST STROKE

and it is the most commonly learned stroke. It's often taught to b beginner swimmers because it does not require putting your head underwater.

BREAST STROKE

slowest competitive swimming stroke,

BUTTERFLY STROKE
