What is the name of the kick in ther freestyle stroke in swimming?

There are just three basic kicks. Butterfly/Dolphin Kick- Powerful, fluid kick from the hips down, feet together. This is the only kick allowed in butterfly events, and is also done during the underwaters (after dives and turns, before breaking the surface) during freestyle and backstroke events as well. Doing this kick will disqualify you in a breaststroke race. Flutter/Freestyle Kick- Kick in which feet move independently in rapid flutter motion. This is the kick that you see swimmers do for freestyle and backstroke events (excluding the underwaters). This kick will disqualify you if you do it in a breaststroke or butterfly event. Breaststroke/Frog Kick- Most technical kick. Beginning with legs straight and together, knees bend to bring feet up, then legs separate and feet arc out and down, eventually bringing legs back together in starting position. The movement is similar to the way frogs swim, hence it commonly being referred to as 'frog kick.' This kick is only used for breaststroke, although technically it is allowed in freestyle (virtually all competitors elect to preform the much faster flutter kick).

What are the different strokes in swimming and how do they differ from each other?

There are four main strokes in swimming: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each stroke has its own technique and style. Freestyle involves a flutter kick and alternating arm strokes. Backstroke is swum on the back with an alternating arm and flutter kick. Breaststroke involves a frog-like kick and a simultaneous arm pull. Butterfly requires a dolphin kick and a simultaneous arm pull. Each stroke has specific rules and techniques that make them distinct from one another.

Which type of kick is most widely used in scuba diving?

There are quite a few different styles and many variants of each type as people all do things slightly differently. However, the two main styles that I see regularly are you traditional straight legged kick where you are simply kicking as you would to swim backstroke or frontcrawl in the swimming pool and the frog kick which is more like a breaststroke style kick.


What is a good fastskin for the breaststroke I am mainly a breaststroker and I just bought a FSII. Is that a good suit or not for breaststroke?

Okay, when you're a breaststroker, always buy a knee-suit FastSkin. A knee-suit stream lines the water in a way that you want for breaststroke. It also gives you more freedom in moving your knees for breaststroke. A full body suit is sometimes not suitable because it might be uncomfortable to move your legs in the frog-like motion that is the breaststroke kick. There are specific types of FastSkin for different strokes. Full-body is for backstroke and butterfly (for butterfly it might be better if you get a legsuit with just the torso instead of the arms also), knee-suits for breaststroke, and for freestyle, any type of FastSkin works.
