Instruction

Participants in Rising Tide will learn the following strokes of competitive swimming, as well as start and turns:

Strokes include:

  • Freestyle: commonly known as the crawl stroke, done in the prone position.
  • Backstroke: another of the “long axis” strokes, performed while on the back.
  • Butterfly: a “short axis” stroke performed with a dolphin kick.
  • Breaststroke: the ‘marquee’ stroke of any swim competition, commonly referred to as the frog kick.
