Front crawl technique usually goes wrong when swimmers hold their breath for as long as they can and then wonder why they get so out of breath. Front crawl breathing technique is made a whole lot easier when arm and leg actions are smooth and efficient.
Breaststroke swimmers usually use their arms far too much, when actually it’s the legs that need to provide the majority of the power during the swimming stroke. Some don’t even use the legs at all! Those that do, usually fail to turn out their feet and miss out on the power that could be gained from the heels and soles of the feet during the powerful whip action of the kick. There are specific swimming exercises to help correct this.
People that swim backstroke usually lack an efficient leg kick by allowing the legs to sink. This is then compounded by an incorrect body position, with the head too high, making the hips sink and the swimming stroke as a whole inefficient. Click here for backstroke exercises.
Butterfly stroke is arguably the most difficult and the most tiring. Very few people swim butterfly recreationally and instead it is swum competitively. This swimming stroke requires a great deal of power and upper body strength, as well as a powerful leg kick.
We have specific exercises that can give you a basic introduction and teach you butterfly stroke.
