Long seaman's swimming-stroke Rolling from 60 degrees to 0 degrees Single overarmstroke/wide half pullthrough (NL: ruime halve doorhaal) Continuous in front Double modified frog-kick Good swimming-stroke to swim |
The principle
This swimming-stroke looks like the long seaman's swimming-stroke
except the body is rolling from 60° on the side to 0° on the breast. The kick is a double modified
frog-kick and both kicks are made at one side. Furthermore the leading arm keeps in front of the body at all times.
While swimming the long seaman's swimming-stroke the frog-kick is made when the trailing arm is pulled through. With X-2 there is also a frog-kick made when the trailing arm moves over in front of the body. After that the body rolls from a 60° angle on the side to 0° on the breast.
