The 4 strokes

BUTTERFLY

This stroke works the chest, biceps, triceps and upper back, while passively strengthening the quads. This is an energetic and rewarding stroke.

BACKSTROKE

This stroke works the arms and focuses on strengthening the core. This is done by pushing the water down and back while propelling forward with the feet and legs. Builds confidence in going where you can't see.

BREASTROKE

Similar to butterfly, this stroke works the chest and core, and actively strengthens the legs through kicking. Glide, breathe, arms, kick!
