= a difficult swimming-stroke to swim or impractical |
This swimming-stroke looks like the Simple backstroke which is swum on the back and where the arms are crossed on the chest. During the whole cyclus the arms are kept there. The legstroke is a wide frog-kick and a long gliding-phase is made. This is a simple swimming-stroke to swim but not an interesting one. |
|||
This swimming-stroke looks like the Simple backstroke
and the arms do a double overarmstroke where they are pulled through
at the same time. The gliding-period is reasonbly long.

This swimming-stroke looks like the Simple backstroke
where the arms are simultaneous pulled through under water until they are
stretched above the head. The legstroke is a frog-kick. This swimming-stroke
is good to swim and is a good excercise for example the
English backstroke. Combination of the arms and legs : short

This swimming-stroke looks also like the Simple backstroke where the arms are simultaneous pulled through under water until they are stretched above the head. The legstroke is the same one which is swum with the Hitoe-noshi, a noshi-kick and is carried out vertically. Because of the noshi-kick the knee of the leg that glidings along with the shin-bone, comes above the water. This is normal. This swimming-stroke is good to swim, although not very efficient because
the damming-force is lower compared with the inverted breaststroke. |

This swimming-stroke looks like the Simple backstroke
where the arms are simultaneous pulled through under water (while they are
fully stretched) until they are above the head and the hands touches each
other. While the arms are pulled through the palm of the hand must face the
ceiling to minimize the water resistance. This is a remarkable and an
interesting swimming-stroke. |
|||
The last swimming-stroke of this serie looks also like the
Simple backstroke where the arms are simultaneous pulled through under
water and make a half pull through. |
