  Be a gentle glider Glancing between the strokes is another common mistake made by even top-level competitors.   Swimming should be performed in a disconnected manner, not like a cycling pedal stroke.   Each stroke is preceded with a short glide.   You will notice the drift as the arm crosses the water.   Instead of wriggling through the motion, let it remain fully extended for a minute.   This will make swimming feel effortless.   Relaxation is important throughout the swimming action. Use high elbow underwater with closed palms Alternately, one arm pulls the water back and the other uses its arms.   One arm pulls the water forward from the hip and the other catches the water in the outside.   High elbow is a technique that involves bending your elbow and moving the forearm vertically.   This should be done as fast as possible during an underwater phase.   While the forearm must be straightened during active pulling, the elbow sho...

  Swimming is a solo sport where one must move his entire body in water.   This sounds quite simple, doesn't?   In reality, water's viscosity causes a lot of drag. This is why it takes a lot more effort to overcome.   Although water may make you feel lighter, it will not allow your muscles to relax when you are moving.   This allows for muscle exercise without putting too much stress on the bones.   There are 5 different styles of swimming.   Let us go over each type in more detail. Front Crawl This stroke is also known by the Freestyle.   It allows you to achieve maximum speed while requiring minimal effort.   Freestyle swimming requires that you swim in a Prone horizontal position (face down).   Flutter kicks and other arm movements create the thrust required to push the body. Legs  move in an alternate fashion, using quick and efficient kicks in the water while keeping the feet pointed.   Water is pulled back using Alte...
