  1. front crawl

    The front crawl is a type of swimming style that is considered the fastest and most efficient of all the swimming strokes. It involves the swimmer facing down, extending the arms alternatively in a forward circular action and kicking the feet up and down. Also known as freestyle, the front crawl primarily uses the muscles in the swimmer's shoulders and thighs. This stroke also requires synchronized breathing by inhaling through the mouth during the recovery of one arm, and exhaling through the nose during the underwater pull of the other arm.

Wikidata

  1. Front crawl

    The front crawl or forward crawl is a swimming stroke usually regarded as the fastest of the four front primary strokes. As such, the front crawl stroke is nearly universally used during a freestyle swimming competition, hence freestyle is used metonymically for the front crawl. It is one of two long axis strokes, the other one being the backstroke. Unlike the backstroke, the butterfly stroke, and the breaststroke, the front crawl is not regulated by the FINA. This style is sometimes referred to as the Australian crawl or the American crawl, although these can refer to more specific variants of front crawl.
