How tp do different kinds of swimming strokes...?

Question

I signed up for a life-guarding-in-training program and i'm kinda scared that everyone will know all these specific types of swimming strokes.. Pointers, please?

Answer 1

Well, to start, there are 4 main strokes.

Butterfly, Backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.

Pointers:

Butterfly: Pace yourself. Butterfly can be tiring. Keep your thumbs down and arch your back to gain speed.

Backstroke: How you push off is key. Arch your back when you push off the block so you fly up and you won't get water up your nose. Then, do long, fast strokes rather than short, quick strokes.

Breaskstroke: Really try to get out of the water, push up to breathe, still looking at the water directly below you. Don't look straight ahead. This will slow you down.

Freestyle: Like backstroke, do long, fast, concentrated strokes and you'll be fine.

Happy swimming!
