Swimming instruction typically covers four core strokes that form the foundation of the sport.

• 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: A slower, symmetrical stroke where both arms pull together and legs perform a frog kick.
• Butterfly: The most demanding stroke, using a dolphin kick and simultaneous overhead arm recovery.

Once swimmers feel confident with the basics, they progress to more technical strokes like butterfly.
