Svømmestilart

Svømmestilart refers to the different techniques or styles used in swimming. The primary competitive swimming strokes recognized by the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), the international governing body for swimming, are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Freestyle, despite its name, typically involves the front crawl stroke, which is the fastest of the four. Backstroke is swum on the back, allowing for easier breathing but generally a slower speed than freestyle. Breaststroke is characterized by a simultaneous outward sweep of the arms and a whip-like kick of the legs. Butterfly is considered the most physically demanding stroke, with both arms moving simultaneously over the water and a dolphin kick. Beyond these competitive strokes, there are numerous other ways to propel oneself through water, often referred to as recreational or survival strokes, such as the sidestroke, elementary backstroke, and treading water. The choice of svømmestilart can depend on the purpose, whether it be for sport, recreation, or survival. Each style requires specific body positioning, arm movements, and leg kicks to achieve efficient propulsion and minimize drag. Training and practice are essential to master the technique and improve performance in any given svømmestilart.
