How To Swim Freestyle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/h3>\n

Step 1: Body Position<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The head remains in a neutral position, face down, except when breathing. Keep your head in line with the rest of your body. Keep your body flat, lie facing down in the water with your body kept in line with the water surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/h3>\n

Step 2: Leg Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

With ankles relaxed and flexible, point your toes behind you and kick up-and-down in a continuous motion from your thighs. Kicking from the calves is not as effective and a simple way to correct this is to make sure your legs are straightened out whilst kicking. Kick from the hips and thighs. Flutter kick just below the surface of the water. Although kicking accounts for only 15-30% of the power in your stroke, it is still an important part of your freestyle technique. Keep your hips close to the surface of the water and make a series of small quick kicks. You want to focus on minimizing drag while you propel yourself forward; therefore, your kicking range of motion should be narrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Step 3: Arm Movement<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the freestyle stroke, the arms execute alternating movements. While one arm moves and pulls underwater from an extended forward position to the hip, the other arm recovers above water from the hip to the extended forward position. Once this is done, the arms switch roles, such that each arm pulls and recovers once over the entire stroke cycle.<\/p>\n

Your arm movement can be broken down to the simplest form consists just two actions \u2013 the Pull and Recovery.<\/p>\n
