Types Of Swimming Strokes

The Different Swimming Strokes: Gives an overview of today's popular swimming strokes that are swum in competitions. Covers also less-known styles that are swum more seldom.

The Breast Stroke: Discusses the breast stroke, which is often the first of the competitive swim strokes taught to beginners. The advantage of the breast stroke is that in the beginning the head can be kept out of the water, which avoids breathing issues.

The Freestyle Stroke: Also known as front crawl, this is the fastest and most energy-efficient of all swim strokes. As such it is the favorite of many fitness swimmers and triathletes.

The Backstroke: This is the sole competitive swim stroke swum on the back. Slower than butterfly but faster than breast stroke, it is often advised by doctors as an exercise to patients that suffer from back pain.

The Butterfly Stroke: This is the second fastest and most exhausting of all swim strokes. However, swimming a few lengths of butterfly is a lot of fun because its movements are unlike any other stroke. Plus when you do swim butterfly you always create a lot of attention.
