  • Basic Rules- the Four Competitive Swimming Strokes Are​ Freestyle
    Basic rules- The four competitive swimming strokes are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. The combination of all four ​ ​ strokes is called individual medley or IM. In freestyle events, the competitor may swim any stroke. The stroke most commonly used is sometimes called the crawl, which is characterized by the alternate stroking of the arms over the surface of the water surface and an alternating (up-and-down) flutter kick. Backstroke consists of an alternating motion of the arms with a flutter kick while on the back. On turns, swimmers may rotate ​ to the stomach and perform a flip turn after taking 1 freestyle arm pull, and some part of the swimmer must touch the wall. The swimmer must finish on the back. ​ ​ The breaststroke requires simultaneous movements of the arms on the same horizontal plane. The hands are pressed out from in front of the breast in a heart shaped pattern and recovered under or on the surface of the water. The kick is a simultaneous somewhat circular motion similar to the action of a frog. On turns and at the finish, the swimmer must touch ​ the wall with both hands simultaneously at, above or below the water surface. Pull, breathe, kick, glide. ​ Some consider the butterfly to be the most beautiful of the strokes. It features a simultaneous straight arm recovery of the arms over the water combined with an undulating dolphin kick. In the kick, the swimmer must keep both legs together and may not flutter, scissors or use the breaststroke kick. Both hands must touch the wall simultaneously on the turns and ​ the finish.

  • The Impact of Special Strength Intervention in Water on the Flutter Kicking Performance in Swimming
    Journal of Physical Education and Sport ® (JPES), Vol.20 (1), Art 14, pp. 108 – 115, 2020 online ISSN: 2247 - 806X; p-ISSN: 2247 – 8051; ISSN - L = 2247 - 8051 © JPES Original Article The impact of special strength intervention in water on the flutter kicking performance in swimming MANDZÁK PETER 1, MANDZÁKOVÁ MARTINA 2 PAVLÍKOVÁ ROMANA 3 1,2Department of Physical Education and Sports, Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica,SLOVAKIA 3Swimming coach in Swimming sports club NEREUS Žilina, SLOVAKIA Published online: January 31, 2020 (Accepted for publication: December 30, 2019) DOI:10.7752/jpes.2020.01014 Abstract The aim of the research was to verify the vertical flutter kicks effectiveness included in the junior swimmers’ training process (n = 11, height = 178.57 ± 7.12, weight = 72.06 ± 12.93, age 16.27 ± 0.70 years ). We assumed that this special exercise in the training process will improve the performance of swimmers, what will result in improved times and decreasing number of kicks in the 50-meter test using flutter kicking. At the same time, we investigated whether the impact of this training would be more obvious when arms were close to the body or stretched upwards during swimming. The experiment was conducted for five months from October 2017 to early March 2018. The results confirmed the statistical significance of the given training method in favor of the swimmers experimental group in the number of kicks as well as in the 50m FK performance with both stretched arms and arms close to the body. The effect of the method had impact on the 50m FK test with stretched arms (Z = -3.251 (p <0.05, r = 0.69 - great effect).

  • Suburban Swim League Stroke & Turn Rules Interpretations – 2019
    SUBURBAN SWIM LEAGUE STROKE & TURN RULES INTERPRETATIONS – 2019 While the USA Swimming Stroke and Turn rules are to be applied to all swimmers, the Suburban Swim League allows the interpretations that are listed below: 8 & UNDER and 6 & UNDER SWIMMERS: The interpretations below will be allowed for the entire DUAL MEET season. However, they will not be accepted at Time Trials & Championships. 1. Swimmers must be able to swim the basic Stroke. A Breaststroker should be doing the basic Breaststroke, etc. Single stroke violations may be overlooked, such as the swimmer who does an occasional flutter kick or underwater recovery in the butterfly. A swimmer who pauses and resumes swimming legally should not be disqualified. Violations which are blatant and repeated are not allowed and should be disqualified. Allowance should never be made for a swimmer who incorrectly swims a stroke to gain an advantage. • A swimmer who starts an incorrect stroke at the beginning of a race should be disqualified. • Swimmers that “flop-in” at the start and then swim correctly without repeated stroke violations should not be disqualified. • A swimmer in the Breaststroke or Butterfly who does a deep dive at the start and strokes/ kicks to the surface in a manner not consistent with the rules for that stroke, should be disqualified. This includes doggie paddle, flutter kick, scissors kick, and breaststroke kick in the butterfly. The violations must be clearly seen and must be describable by the official to be a disqualification. 2. Two hand touches are required in breaststroke and butterfly. Some discretion may be allowed when the swimmer is attempting to touch with both hands simultaneously, but the contact is not simultaneous.
