Technique
Ever wondered what you’re aiming for? What does correct technique look like for freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly? Check out these swimming moves!
Frontcrawl
This is the fastest of the 4 strokes, where both the arms and legs work alternately with breathing to the side.
Backcrawl
The stroke is swum on the back allowing the swimmer to breath as required, with the arms and legs working alternately.
Breaststroke
This is the slowest of the 4 strokes. It follows a frog like action with both the arms and legs working simultaneously and symmetrically.
Butterfly
This stroke follows a dolphin like action with the body. Both arms and legs are simultaneous with arms pulling under the body recovering over the water.
