Swimming strokes are specific techniques used to move efficiently through water. Key strokes include freestyle (crawl), where you alternate arm pulls and flutter kicks; backstroke, similar to freestyle but on your back; breaststroke, involving simultaneous arm movements and a frog-like kick; and butterfly, with simultaneous arm pulls and a dolphin kick. Each stroke uses different body positions, arm movements, and kicks to maximize speed and efficiency. Mastering various strokes helps improve endurance, build strength, and ensure versatile swimming skills for both recreation and competition.
