Competitive Swimming
🐠 Four strokes to get you there 🐠
- Butterfly: performed face down in the water. The legs perform a dolphin kick while the arms move in a forward circle at the same time.
- Backstroke: done while lying on the back. One arm reaches behind the head with a fingertip entry while the other arm is by the side. The legs perform a flutter kick.
- Breaststroke: performed face down in the water without rotating the torso. The arms stay in the water and move synchronously, while the legs perform a breastroke kick.
- Front crawl: the fastest style for swimming on the surface. Done while face down. The arms alternate while the legs perform a flutter kick.
