Swimming
techniques
Freestyle (Front Crawl)
Swum face-down with alternating overhand arm recoveries and a continuous flutter kick. Propulsion comes primarily from the alternating high-elbow arm pulls while the torso rotates side-to-side
Backstroke
Swum entirely on the back using alternating arm rotations and a fast flutter kick. It allows continuous breathing because the face remains above the water line
Butterfly
The most physically demanding stroke, featuring a simultaneous overhead arm recovery and a powerful undulating dolphin kick driven by a sharp chest and hip snap
Breaststroke
A symmetrical, face-down stroke with a rhythmic sequence of a simultaneous pull, a breath, a narrow kick, and a forward glide. Power is generated by sweeping the arms outward and inward under the chest combined with a whip-like kick
Benefits
Helps your heart
Increases capacity: You must time your breathing with your strokes, which acts like strength training for your respiratory muscles and expands your lung capacity.
relieves stess
releases feel-good chemicals: Swimming triggers the release of endorphins in your brain, which naturally boost your mood and lower anxiety.
TRains your lungs
Pumps more blood: Being horizontal in the water helps blood flow easily, so your heart moves more blood with every single beat.
