Front crawl, also known as freestyle, is a swimming style in which the swimmer cuts through the water in a streamlined way
Body Position: The body should be kept as straight and long as possible, with the head in line with the spine and the legs extending behind. The body should be positioned in a horizontal plane, with the head slightly lifted to allow for proper breathing.
Leg Action: The legs should kick with a flutter kick motion, alternating the up-and-down motion of the legs, trailing they tend to provide stability. The legs should be kept relatively close together.
Arm Action: The arms are used to generate most of the forward propulsion. The arm should enter the water in front of the head and then be pulled back towards the hips, with the hand exiting the water at the hip. The recovery of the arm should be quick and smooth.
Breathing Timing: Breathing is crucial in front crawl as it provides oxygen to the swimmer and helps maintain balance in the water. The swimmer should take a breath every 3 to 5 strokes, turning the head to the side to breathe and then returning it to its original position.
It is important to remember that these are general guidelines and each swimmer may have their own unique style. Proper technique can improve efficiency
