HOW TO SWIM Swim styles:

Swimming has four major styles used most in the Olympics There are:

 Freestyle

 Back stroke

 Breast stroke

 Butterfly

Freestyle: In free style races, very few restrictions are placed on the swimmer The swimmer can choose

to swim in any style In this style, swimmers move their arms

alternatively forward, pulling water backwards They move one of their arms in a semi circular motion in vertical plane while they catch water with the other arm and push it backwards

Back stroke: In this style, a swimming stroke performed on the back with the arms lifted alternately out of the water in a backward circular motion and the legs

extended and kicking

Breast stroke: This style is considered to be the oldest In this style, swimmers stretch their arms forward and tilt their hands slightly downwards While pulling their hands towards the waist, they bring their feet closer to the hips and fold their legs and kick water with their feet This propels their body forward and gives them speed

Butterfly: In this style, swimmers dive into the pool stretching their arms and shoulders width apart They rotate their arms in a semi circle to raise the body They push water backwards by synchronously moving their feet up and down They can use dolphin or butterfly kick

Additionally, swimming has also "sidestroke" styles and doggy styles called dog paddle The dog paddle is a simple swimming style It is often the first swim style used by young children when they are learning to swim

Swimwear:

Standard everyday clothing is not usually appropriate for swimming and

is unsafe under some circumstances Most cultures today expect swimmers to wear swimsuits

Men's swimsuits commonly resemble shorts, or briefs Modern women's swimsuits are generally skintight like bikini Women's swimwear may also cover the belly as well for example monokini and tankini
