crawl. When swimming this stroke, your
body will be in a prone position on your
stomach and face toward the water.
Both your arms and legs will pull you
through the water, while your torso
remains stable. Your arms will move in
an alternating fashion.
Freestyle also gives you a full body
workout. It works the muscles in your
arms, legs, core and back.
BREASTSTROKE
 Like freestyle, breaststroke involves
separate movements for your arms and
legs. Your body is in the same horizontal
position as it is during freestyle, but you
will use different motions to propel
yourself through the water.
 Your arms will together at the same time
in a half-circular motion underneath the
water. Your arms, bent at the elbow, will
sweep apart and then together again
toward your chest, remaining underwater
the entire time you swim this stroke
BACKSTROKE
As your arms pull you through the
water, your legs will be using the
same flutter kick performed during
freestyle
Your legs will be slightly bent as you
kick in a flurry of alternating motion.
You can decide on the frequency of
kicks depending on how fast you
want to move.
There is no breathing technique to
worry about because your face is
always above the water.
BUTTERFLY
Butterfly requires a great deal of strength
and coordination that takes time to
develop.
As your arms move through this cycle,
your legs will be continuously moving
using a technique known as dolphin kick.
During dolphin kick, your legs remain
zipped together in one smooth line.
The breathing technique for butterfly is
like that of breaststroke. You will use your
shoulder muscles to bob your head up out
of the water and back down.
