Butterfly

1. Start horizontal with your stomach facing the bottom of the pool. 2. Bring your arms simultaneously over your head and push them into the water to propel you forward and bring them up out of the water again to repeat. 3. As you move your arms into the water, you will push your head and shoulders above the surface of the water. 4. 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. 5. Move your body in a fluid wave-like motion. 6. The best time to take a breath will be when your arms are just starting to come out of the water, just before you begin the next forward thrust. 7. Lift your head straight in front of you during this move and do not turn your head to the side.

Breaststroke

1. Stomach facing down 2. Arms move simultaneously beneath the surface of the water in a half circular movement in front of your body. 3. Legs perform the whip kick at the same time. 4. 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. 5. Legs then move outward and off to the side before extending and coming back together. 6. Time each arm stroke to match your leg movements for more effective propulsion by resting the arms while the legs kick, and straightening the legs while the arms push you forward.

Backstroke

1. While floating on your back, alternate your arms with a windmill-like motion to propel yourself backwards. 2. Arms should start the circular motion by pushing underwater and recovering above water. 3. Legs should engage in a flutter kick. Your face should be above the surface as you look straight up. 4. Keep your body as straight as possible, with a slight decline in the lower body to keep your legs underwater. 5. Don't allow your hips to get too low or your body to bend too much or it will slow you down. 6. Keep your legs close together and use the motion from your hips to get a more powerful kick. 7. 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.

Front Crawl

1. You lie on your stomach with your body parallel to the water. 2. Propel yourself forward with alternating arm movements in a sort of windmill motion that starts by pushing underwater and recovers above water. 3. Your legs should propel you with a flutter kick, which is performed with pointed feet as your legs move up and down in alternation. 4. Do not bend your legs at the knee. 5. Time your breathing to match your swimming strokes by turning your head to the side while your arm is in the recovery (above water) position. 6. Do not turn your head too far and face upward or you will actually sink into the water rather than remain above it.
