There are 4 stokes.
These are swam at the Olympics
They are:
-Freestyle
You are positioned on you front. While you patter kick, one arm goes from you waist in a circular motion all the way over your head.
-Backstroke
You are positioned on your back. While you patter kick, one arm goes from your waist in a circular motion all the way over your head. (basically freestyle but on your back)
-Breaststroke
You are positioned on your front. Your legs do a frog kick (pull then behind to your bum and kick them outwards making a circle. Your arms push over your head and make a circle all the way to you chest and the push back through over your head again.
Just remember, pull, breathe, kick and glide (this will make it easier)
-Butterfly
You are positioned on your front. Your legs do a dolphin kick (this means they are together). Your arms are over your head and your face is looking down. Pull through to the bottom of the pull all the way till you reach your hips and then recover your arms over the top of the water until the are back over your head.
(This stoke is more advanced. It is very tiring especially for beginners)
