SWIMMING
Most people like swimming for fun, but some people like swimming as a sport and take part in swimming competitions. These competitions usually include several different swimming styles; freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke. Races are held over various distances, and all except medleys are for just one swimming style. While most competitions are held in a swimming pool, some are held in a lake or in the sea in what's called open water. Open water events are usually long races like the 10km marathon or part of an event like the triathlon that includes running and cycling as well as swimming.
Swimming Styles
Freestyle
This is the fastest style used in competitive swimming. It's based on a traditional swimming stroke from the Solomon Islands that was introduced to Europe in the nineteenth century by Australians who'd copied the islanders. It's sometimes called the Australian crawl or front crawl, but most people now call it "freestyle". In this style you swim face-down and circle your arms forwards through the air and backwards through the water while doing the flutter kick.
Breaststroke
Breaststroke is one of the most popular strokes because it’s easy to learn and it's possible to keep your head above water and your hair dry while doing it. In this style you swim with your chest facing down and push your arms ahead under the water and then pull yourself forwards while doing the frog kick.
Butterfly
Another stroke that's done face-down is the butterfly. It's the most difficult stroke and is usually only used by competitive swimmers. In this style you rotate both arms forward just above the water and then use them to pull your body through the water while lifting your chest and head into the air. At the same time you propel your body forward with a rhythmic leg movement called the dolphin kick.
Backstroke
The only stroke you can do while lying on your back is the backstroke. The arm and leg movements are like those used in freestyle but with the arms rotating backwards instead of forwards. It’s easy to breathe while doing this stroke because your face is usually out of the water, but it's hard to see where you’re going. Backstroke races are the only ones that don't begin with swimmers diving into the water. They begin with swimmers pushing off from the wall of the pool after taking position side-by-side in the water.
