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.
