In swimming, there are different strokes you can learn. The most popular one is freestyle. In freestyle, you use your arms to stroke through the water and kick your legs quickly. You also need to turn your head to breathe. Another stroke is backstroke, where you swim on your back and look up at the ceiling. You can breathe freely the whole time! Breaststroke uses arm and leg movements that look just like a frog swimming. After each stroke, you can glide smoothly through the water. At Tai-He Elementary School, students learn all of these strokes. Practice makes perfect!
