PE 3

A. Insweep

In this arm movement, the arm moves as a unit, like a big paddle, pulling at the water. The upper arm moves backward and inward. A. Insweep B. Recovery C. Release D. Upsweep

Starting position

In this position, the arm is extended forward underwater at the end of the previous arm recovery.

D. Kicking

It creates the majority of the full velocity when you swim. A. Streamline B. Arm Pull C. Power Phase D. Kicking

B. Tuck Float

It is a preliminary skill for somersaulting and is also useful for developing confidence as a tucked float position feels wobbly and triggers feeling of tripping over A. Front float B. Tuck float C. Jellyfish float D. Back float

A. Dog Paddle

It is a primitive method of threading which is seen in children when left in the water. It is more instinctual than being based on any method of training. A. Dog Paddle B. Sculling C. Frog kick D. Bicycle kick

Bubbling/Bobbing

It is an important safety skill that teaches both breath control in the water, serves as a foundation for swimmers once they start learning swim strokes.

C. Frog kick

It is another propulsion kick common in mainstream swimming strokes. In which the legs are bent, at the knees extended outward and brought together forcefully for the glide A. Bicycle kick B. Egg beater kick C. Frog kick D. Flutter kick

B. Floating

It is the ability to roll their back and stay at the water's surface which places them in an ideal position to breathe. It helps the swimmer to conserve energy which reduces the chances from drowning from physical fatigue. A. Bubbling/Bobbing B. Floating C. Flultter kick D. Streamline

C. Breast Stroke

It is the oldest of the four modern competitive strokes, of one used by swimmers of all abilities, however, for various reasons it is the slowest stroke. A. Freestyle B. Back stroke C. Breast stroke D. Butterfly

C. Breast stroke

It is the only competitive stroke that has a more powerful kick than the pool, speed on this stroke depends in the kick and ability to go back in streamline position A. Freestyle B. Back stroke C. Breast stroke D. Butterfly

C. Recovery phase

It resets your movement in preparation for the next rotation of your swim. A. Cuts position B. Streamline C. Recovery phase D. Gliding

B. Dolphin kick

Streamline glide, with this kick makes you move like a mermaid and utilizes your core and legs A. Bicycle kick B. Dolphin kick C. Frog kick D. Flutter kick

A. Freestyle

Stroke swimming in horizontal position on the chest. The body rolls from side to side always turning to the side of the arm that is currently pulling in the water. The head remains in neutral position until you are going to take air. A. Freestyle B. Back Stroke C. Breast stroke D. Butterfly

A. Downsweep

The forearm moves down while the elbow remains high in the water. The upper arm moves outward and backward. A. Downsweep B. Recovery C. Release D. Upsweep

B. Breathing Control

The main goal of blowing bubbles in swimming is: A. Prepare chest for swimming B. Breathing control C. Relax and release tension D. Regain regular breathing

C. Jellyfish Float

This float is named for its proper execution in which the swimmer takes a deep breath, puts their face in the water, arms, and legs hanging down. A. Front float B. Tuck float C. Jellyfish float D. Back float

D. Scissor kick

This is a classic kick used in breast stroke. In which many swimmers call it the "frog kick" as the legs kick out and look similar to the leg movements of a frog when swimming. A. Dolphin kick B. Flutter Kick C. Bicycle kick D. Scissor kick

D. Prone float/Dead man's float

This is a technique in which the face is submerged in the water. It helps beginners become accustomed to that sensation and to build confidence in the water. A. Jellyfish float B. Back float C. Tuck float D. Prone float/Dead man's float

B. Tuck float

This is the best position to achieve buoyancy when you are in the survival condition and the only option when your legs begin to cramp and when you have difficulty in moving or kicking it. A. Front float B. Tuck float C. Jellyfish float D. Back float

Front crawl

This is the fastest swimming stroke A. Backstroke B. Front crawl C. Butterfly stroke D. Breaststroke

B. Front Crawl

This is the fastest, most efficient swimming technique A. Breast stroke B. Front Crawl C. Butterfly D. Back stroke

D. Breaststroke

This is the slowest swimming stroke A. Backstroke B. Front crawl C. Butterfly stroke D. Breaststroke

A. Backstroke

This is the third-fastest swimming stroke A. Backstroke B. Front crawl C. Butterfly stroke D. Breaststroke

A. Inhalation

This occurs when the hands meet below the chest and the head and shoulders rise out of the water. A. Inhalation B. Exhalation

A. Front float

This position requires the spreading of arms and legs while looking at the bottom of the floor. A. Front float B. Tuck float C. Jellyfish float D. Back float

C. Butterfly stroke

This stroke is quite strenuous and is usually swum over short distances A. Front crawl B. Back stroke C. Butterfly stroke D. Breast stroke

B. Backstroke

This technique is swum in the supine position. The body rolls from side to side in the direction of the arm entering the water. It is also the third-fastest stroke. A. Front crawl B. Backstroke C. Butterfly stroke D. Breaststroke

D. Back float

This will enable you to breathe naturally and you will not be able to worry about sinking and the possibility of drowning. A. Front float B. Tuck float C. Jellyfish float D. Back float

True (should always be streamlined or else there will be drag)

True or False As the body moves through the water it is met by resistance coming by the water itself, if the resistance is to be easily overcome. The body coming from the water has to become as streamline as possible.

#43: False (not done at the same time)

True or False In breast stroke, the movement of the arm and the feet are done at the same time

True

True or False In freestyle stroke, the head is kept in a neutral position with the face down unless a breath is taken.

True

True or False In front crawl, to breathe, the swimmer turns his head up during the arm recovery until the mouth is above the water surface. The swimmer breathes quickly then turns his head back down. The exhalation begins as soon as the mouth is under the water surface again and continues until next breathing arm recovery.

True

True or False Kicking the water with the legs is the least efficient way of moving through the water as it can require a rapid movement that can quickly become tiring.

True

True or False The big kick in butterfly is full body dolphin kick and is designed to maintain the momentum and power phase of the pull as you prepare for the body to start another rotation

True

True or False The pulling of the arm in the butterfly sweeps under water from the extended forward position to outside shoulder and then help to the hip

True

True or False The technique of bubbling helps swimmers to breathe properly.

True

True or False There are four distinct parts of breaststroke, the pull, breathing, kick, and glide

True

True or False When your body slightly rotates, it is easier to take air when you roll or rotate your shoulder. However, your entire body should not totally turn when you breathe, only turn your head to get air or to breathe.

#42: True

True or False Backstroke flutter kick should be continuously done while you are pulling your hand

#50: False (from the legs)

True or False Speed in breaststroke depends on the power of the arm pull and the ability to go back in streamline position for the kick propulsion

Kickboard
