Stroke Technique refers to the specific way a swimmer moves their arms and legs to propel themselves through the water. Each swimming style, such as freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly, has its own unique stroke technique that emphasizes different movements and body positions. Proper technique helps improve speed, efficiency, and reduces the risk of injury. Key components of stroke technique include body position, arm movement, and kick. Maintaining a streamlined body position minimizes drag, while effective arm strokes and kicks provide the necessary propulsion. Swimmers often practice drills to refine their stroke technique and enhance their overall performance in the water.
