The Four Competitive Swimming Strokes

The four main competitive swim strokes  These swim strokes consist of the backstroke, the breaststroke, the butterfly stroke and freestyle. Here is a simple breakdown of each stroke. Backstroke Backstroke: During the backstroke, the swimmer is laying on one's back. The legs are doing a flutter kick and the arms are moving in a fan-like motion.

Let's talk about 5 of our favorite benefits to swimming! 1. Cardio AND strength training. If you are anything like me, then you know there is nothing much worse than cardio! (If you don't agree with that statement, I'm judging you. Just kidding... kind of.) The thought of running for miles both bores me and makes me want to clean my whole house first just to avoid it.
