• Development stages: Lessons focus on smoother kicks, proper hand entry, and swimming 50–100 metres continuously.

There are four main swimming strokes, each with its own technique and purpose.

• Freestyle: The fastest stroke, using alternating arm pulls and a flutter kick with side breathing.
• Back crawl: Performed face-up with alternating arms and a flutter kick, ideal for breathing easily.
• Breaststroke: This technique focuses on timing, glide efficiency, and coordinated breathing at each stroke.
• Butterfly: This stroke requires strong shoulders, flexible ankles, and excellent core coordination.

Beginners usually start with front crawl and backstroke because they are easier to learn.
