  1. Aquatics • Breast stroke. • Forward crawl. • Backstroke.

  2. Breast Stroke • Keep legs close together and pull them up toward chest. At the same time, hold palms together and up against chest, as if in prayer. • Kick legs out and apart then quickly squeeze them together. Try to imitate the way a frog kicks. • Glide for a moment with your arms fully extended, then turn your palms outward and pull with both hands out and around in a circular motion, so that they end up in their original position, together against your chest. • Use the pull with hands to pull head up and out of the water to take a breath. As head goes back down, arms should begin to plunge forward with the next kick. • The timing rhythm is — pull — kick — hands forward glide.

  3. Freestyle or Front Crawl Visualize the line from your chin to chest: this is the axis upon which your whole body should pivot, and it should extend horizontally in the direction you are swimming. 2 Keep legs straight, with toes pointed out, and kick up and down. 3 Move arms in a windmill motion opposite each other. 4 Keep hands flat, and pull arm through the water beneath body. 6 Breathe on one side by turning your head to that side as the arm comes out of the water.

  4. Backstroke Floating on your back in a horizontal position, kick your legs up and down. Pivoting slightly at the waist and rotating your shoulders, windmill your arms. Your hand should enter the water pinky-first. Keep your head floating back in the water, with your eyes looking up. Breathe normally.
