How many swimming styles are there?

Swimming is a great all-around exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels. There are four main swimming styles:

  • Freestyle is the most commonly used, and it is considered to be the fastest of the four strokes. To do freestyle, start by lying face down in the water with your arms extended forward. Then, bring your right arm over your head and pull it through the water in a circular motion. Repeat with your left arm. As you pull with one arm, kick your legs up and down in a flutter kick.
  • Backstroke is swam on the back, with the arms moved in a circular motion over the water. The legs are kicked in a flutter kick.
  • Breaststroke is the slowest of the four strokes, and it is characterized by its distinctive arm and leg movements. To breaststroke, start by lying face down in the water with your arms extended forward. Then, pull both arms back towards your chest and simultaneously spread your legs out to the sides. Bring your arms forward again and kick your legs together to propel yourself forward.
  • Butterfly stroke is the most challenging of the four strokes, and it is considered to be the most powerful. To butterfly stroke, start by lying face down in the water with your arms extended out to the sides. Then, bring both arms up over your head and clap them together. Simultaneously, bring your legs up and kick them together.

Knowing the different swimming styles can help you to choose the one that is best for you. If you are a beginner, freestyle is a good starting point. Once you have mastered freestyle, you can try the other strokes.
