    SWIMSUIT
    IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU NEED
    SWIMSUIT TO SWIM. THE RIGHT
    SWIMSUIT FITS LOSE TO YOUR BODY
    AND DOES NOT HINDER MOVEMENT. A
    SUIT THAT IS TOO BIG MAY SAG AND
    MAKE YOU UMCOMFORTABLE,
    ALTERING HOW YOU MOVE IN THE
    WATER. PROFESSIONAL SWIMMERS
    WEAR COMPETITION SUITS THAT
    STREAMLINE THEIR STROKE AND HELP
    WITH THE SPEED. IF YOU ARE A
    RECREATIONAL SWIMMER THEN LOOK
    FOR A COMFORTABLE ONE.
    GOGGLES
    IT ALLOWS YOU TO SEE
    UNDERWATER, IMPORTANT IN
    CROWDED POOLS OR FOR LAP
    SWIMMING WHEN YOU NEED TO SEE
    TURNS, WALLS AND BARRIERS. IT
    ALSO PROTECTS YOUR EYES FROM
    CHEMICALS USED TO CLEAN THE
    POOL. CHOOSE A PAIR THAT SITS
    SNUGLY ON YOUR FACE, WHICH
    PREVENTS WATER FROM SEEPING
    IN.
    SWIMMING CAP
    SWIMMING CAP KEEPS LONG HAIR
    OUT OF YOUR FACE WHILE YOU
    SWIM. IT ALSO CORRALS YOUR
    HAUR, HELPING STREAMKINE YOUR
    SILHOUTTE AS YOU SWIM. MOST
    PROFESSIONAL SWIMMERS WEAR A
    SWIM CAP FOR THESE REASONS. IT
    ALSO PROTECTS YOUR HAIR FROM
    HARSH CHEMICALS AND ALSO HOLD
    YOUR GOGGLES, PREVENTING FROM
    SHIFTING AS YOU MOVE
    UNDERWATER.
    FINS, PADDLES AND BOARD
    THESE ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR
    COMPETITION, BUT MAY BE
    BENEFICIALDURING PRACTICE OR
    FOR RECREATIONAL SWIMMERS WHO
    ARE LOOKING FOR A MORE
    CHALLENGING WORKOUT. FINS
    INCREASES THE RESISTANCE TO THE
    LEGS. PADDLING ENHANCES THE
    MUSCULAR BENEFITS AND BOARDS
    AID WITH BUOYANCY AND OF
    COURSE TO PRACTICE THE PROPER
    FLUTTER KICKS
    FACILITIES

     SWIMMING POOL

    SWIMMING POOL
    BASICALLY AN OUTDOOR OR INDOOR.
    UNDENIABLY WE ALL EXPERIENCED TO GO TO
    A SWIMMING POOL SO FOR SURE YOU WHAT
    THIS LOOKS LIKE. MOST OF THE COMPETITION
    HAPPENED WAS INDOOR TO PREVENT THE
    SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY TO THE EYES OF THE
    COMPETITOR.
    OPEN-WATER
    IT COULD BE SEA, RIVER, LAKE AND ANY
    BODIES OF WATER THAT ARE SAFE TO SWIM.
    SOME OF THE COMPETITON HELD IN AN OPEN
    WATER.
    COMPETITIVE STROKES

     FREESTYLE STROKE
     BREASTSROKE
     BUTTERRFLY STROKE
     BACKSTROKE
    FREESTYLE
    MOST COMMON AND USED STROKE OF ALL.
    ABSOLUTELY THE FASTEST STROKE ALSO. IT
    USES LEGS TO DO THE FLUTTER KICKS WHILE
    FACING THE FLOOR OF THE POOL AND AN ARM
    CIRCULAR MOVEMENT THAT STATED ON THE
    PICTURE. FREESTYLE USES SIX FLUTTER KICKS
    AND 1 ARM STROKE CYCLE TOGETHER WITH
    THE PROPER HEAD TURNING FOR YOU TO BE
    ABLE TO BREATH. YOUR BODY SHOULD BE
    STREAMLINE TO THE WATER FOR YOU TO BE
    ABLE TO SWIM FASTER. DOWNBEAT
    MOVEMENT OF FEET WILL PROVIDE THE
    FASTER SWIM.
    FREESTYLE TIPS

     PUSH AND GLIDE – PUSH FROM THE WALL AND GLIDE YOUR BODY
     PRACTICE KICKING – PRACTICE THE FLUTTER KICKS
     ARMS AND ROTATION – THE PROPER EXECUTION OF ARMS
     PRACTICE BREATHING – THE TECHNIQUE OF HEAD TURNING TO BREATH
     START THE STROKE: ENTRY – THIS STARTS THE STYLE
     MAKE THE CATCH – PRACTICE THE CATCH, THE PULL TO THE WATER
     RECOVER AND INHALE – RECOVERY OF HAND AND INTAKE OF AIR
     MAINTAIN YOUR KICK – MAINTAINING FLUTTER KICKS
    BREASTSTROKE
    THE MOST RESTFUL STROKE BECAUSE OF ITS
    NOT SO FAST MOVEMENT OF THE BODY. AND
    TYPICALLY THE EASIEST STROKE TODAY. FROM
    THE WORD ITSELF BREASTSTROKE MEANING
    YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE BY PULLING
    YOUSELF FROM THE WATER WITH YOUR HAND
    COMING FROM YOUR BREAST. THE LEG
    MOVEMENT FOR THIS IS THE FROG KICK. I
    STROKE INCLINED WITH 1 BREAT.
    BREASTROKE TIPS

     PUSH AND GLIDE – PUSH FROM THE WALL TOGETHER WITH THE ARMS FULLY
    EXTENDED IN FRONT
     OUTSWEEP – OUTSWEEP YOUR ARMS BY TURNING IT OUTWARD TO FORM A “Y”
    SHAPE.
     INSWEEP – THE MAIN PROPULSION COMING FROM HANDS, IT IS WHERE YOU
    MOVE YOUR FOREARMS DOWN AND BACK AS YOU PULL
     RECOVERY – ARMS FORWARDS BELOW THE SURFACE TO ENTER GLIDE AGAIN.
    BUTTERFLY
    THE HARDEST STROKE, COULD BE FAST IF YOU
    MASTER THIS TECHNIQUE. A LOT OF
    BEGINNERS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS
    TECHNIQUE BUT IN GENERAL YOU CAN LEARN
    IT IF YOU ARE WILLING. THIS STROKE
    FREQUENTLY USED IT A COMPETITION. THE
    LEG MOVEMENT FOR THIS IS A DOLPHIN KICK
    TOGETHER WITH BODY WAVE LIKE MOVEMENT.
    YOUR BODY SHOULD ALSO BE STREAMLINE TO
    THE WATER FOR A FASTER MOVEMENT AND
    FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO BREATH BY TURNING
    YOUR HEAD UPWARD TOGETHER WITH THE
    PULL.
    BUTTERFLY TIPS

     CORRECT ARM MOVEMENT – THE PULLING WAY OF BUTTERFLY

    CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT

    STROKE
    BACKSTROKE
    SAME AS THE FREESTYLE BUT THIS
    TECHNIQUE WAS FACING THE CEILING OR THE
    SKY. LOOKING AT THESE CAN MAINTAIN YOUR
    MOVEMENT IF YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT OR
    TURNING. THE ARMS AND LEGS MOVEMENT
    WILL VICE VERSE TO THE FREESTYLE. SIMPLE
    AS THAT. THE UPBEAT MOVEMENT OF THE
    FEET WILL GIVE MORE PROPULSION TO MOVE.
    BACKSTROKE TIPS

     KEEP YOUR BODY FLAT LIKE A PLANK – MAINTAIN THE BODY STREAMLINE TO
    THE WATER
     USE A FROG KICK – LIKE A LEG’S KICK ARE LIKE A FROG WHEN THEY SWIM

    IS TO PRACTICE THIS
     ACCELERATE YOUR ARMSPEED – TO SWIM WAY MUCH FASTER
    DIVING

    RACE. IT STARTS FROM THE DIVING BOARD OF
