What is Swimming?
Swimming is an activity of propelling oneself through water using the
limbs
Swimming can be a fun leisure activity and is a really good low
impact way of staying in shape
Could potentially save your life and others
3. Floating technique
Everyone can and should learn how to float in water.
Knowing how to float can save your life, and it’s the first step
in learning how to swim freestyle.
4. Treading water
Water treading is an aspect of swimming that involves a
swimmer staying in a vertical position in the water while
keeping his or her head above the surface of the water.
5. Doggy paddle
Combining basic kicking with padding arms.
6. Flutter kick
The primary purpose of the flutter kick is not propulsion but
keeping the legs up and in the shadow of the upper body and
assisting body rotation for arm strokes.
7. Coordination
Beginner swimmers often find themselves messily chopping
through the water with their limbs. That’s fine. It takes time to
master these skills in order to be a better swimmer.
FREESTYLE
This is the most popular stroke and the easiest for beginners to
learn. It is a simple flutter kick and windmill arm motion. The most
difficult part is coordinating the breathing since your face is in the
water most of the time.
Backstroke
Similar to the freestyle is that you use an alternate windmill
arm stroke and flutter kick. Two keys to a proper backstroke, your
arms move with equal strength, otherwise you will swim off to one
side, and that your body rolls from the side to side so that your arms
catch enough water to propel you forward.
BREASTSTROKE
The breaststroke involves exquisite timing, and in fact, you can
be disqualified from competition if you miss even one stroke. This is
a difficult stroke and not one to choose if you’re just learning how to
swim. The basic are that your arms pull, you breathe, you kick (arms
alternate with the kick), and you glide.
BUTTERFLY
Like the breaststroke, this is a difficult stroke and not
recommended for beginners because it requires perfect timing and
good deal of strength. During the stroke the legs move together in a
dolphin kick, the arms move together to push the water downward
and backward and the torso undulate like an earthworm as the body
moves forward through the water.
DIVES - to jump into water with your arms and head going in first
Six type of dives are used in springboard and platform diving, four of
these involve somersaulting either toward or away from the diving
board or platform.
Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and write FALSE if the
statement is wrong.
