Front crawl, also known as The Australian Crawl, is
generally regarded as the fastest swimming style developed. It is one of
the two axes shots, the other is the back. Unlike the back, butterfly,
breaststroke and front crawl is not regulated by FINA, but it is almost
universally swum in freestyle competitions.
Technical Freestyle (crawl)

stretched forward and extend their hind legs.
Arm movement
The arm movement in freestyle is alternating, i.e. while one arm is
pushing or pulling, the recovery of the other arm. The arm also
highlights the most forward movement in freestyle. The movement can
be divided into three parts, pull, push, and recovery.
The initial position, the arm sinks slightly lower and the palm facing 45
° with the thumb side of the palm of your hand against the bottom. This

2. is called catching the water and preparing to move. It also gives the
muscles a rest while swimming. Pull movement follows a semicircle
with the elbow higher than your hand and the finger pointed at the
body center and downward. Semicircle ends in front of the chest early
in the chest.
Push pushes the palm backward under the body of water at the
beginning and end of the push side of the body. Moving more speed
throughout the pull push phase until the hand moves at maximum
speed just before the end of the drive.
Some time after the start of a hand to recover the one hand, on the other
hand, begins to drag. Recovery moves the elbow is a semi-circle in the
vertical plane swimming. Forearm and hand are completely relaxed and
hang down to your elbows close to the water surface and near the
swimmer's body. This gives the muscles a brief opportunity to rest. At
the beginning of the recovery appears to be similar to pull his hand from
his back pocket with a finger up small. To deepen the recovery phase,
the movement of the hand has been compared to putting up the zipper
in the middle of a pack. Back to the hand moves forward, and fingers
after falling just over the water. In the midst of recovery of the shoulder
is rotated in the air, while the second is a step backwards to avoid drag,
because of the large frontal area which at this particular time does not
fall under his arm.
You can rotate the shoulder, some twist their torso while also runs all
the way to the foot.
Beginners often make the mistake of not relaxing the arm during the
recovery and movement of the hand too high and too far from the body,
in some cases even higher than the elbow. In these cases, make the effort
of accessory muscles is increased at the expense of speed. Beginners
often forget to use your shoulders for the change as far as possible. Some
say the hand should enter the water thumb first, reduce drag through
possible turbulence, others say that the middle finger is bent by hand
first, precisely what push from the beginning. At the beginning of the
attraction, the hand acts like a wing and moves slower than the speed of
the swimmer (this may seem a short break), while at the end, acts like a
skull and moves faster than the speed of swimmer.

3. A variation of leisure crawl involves only one movable arm at a time
when the other arm rests and is lying on his forehead. This style is called
a "catch up" stroke and requires less strength for swimming. This is
because the immersed length of the body is longer and more rational.
This style is slower than the regular crawl and is rarely used
competitive: But it is often used for training purposes even by
professional swimmers, as it increases awareness of the organization to
be streamlined in the water . Total Immersion is a similar technique.
Leg movement
The leg movement in freestyle is called flutter kicks. The legs move
alternately, with a kicking leg down while the other leg moves upward.
Although the legs only a small fraction of the speed on the whole, they
are important to stabilize the body position. This lack of balance is
evident when you use a pull buoy to neutralize the action of the leg.
Leg in the initial position bends very slightly knees, then kick the leg
and foot down like kicking a soccer ball. The legs are slightly bent
inwards. After kicking the legs moving again. A common mistake for
beginners is to bend the legs too much or too sudden a lot of water.
Ideally, there are 6 kicks per cycle, but it is also possible to use four
kicks and even kicks 2. Franziska van Almsick, for example, nothing
very successfully with four kicks per cycle. When a branch is pushed
down the opposite leg should be kicking down as well, to set the
direction of the body, because this happens shortly after the body
rotation. Alternatively, tracking may also be swum with a butterfly
kick, although it reduces the stability of the position of swimming.
Breaststroke with a tracking movement of weapons (the Trudge) is
complicated, because the front crawl breathing pattern needs a
rotation, but a chest movement resists this rotation.
Respiration
Normally, the face is in the water during front crawl with eyes looking
at the bottom of the wall facing the pool with the water line from the
front line and hairline. But today, many wonder if the head will be on

4. your lap. Breaths are taken by mouth, turning her head to the side arm
recovery in early recovery, and breathing in the triangle between the
upper arm, forearm, and buoyancy. the swimmer's forward movement
will cause a bow wave with a depression in the surface near the ears.
After turning his head, a breath can be taken on this channel without
having to move the mouth above the mean water surface. A thin film of
water flowing from the head can be blown before admission. The head
turned at the end of the recovery and low points, and forward again
when the recovered hand enters the water. The swimmer breathes
through the mouth and nose until the next breath.
standard pool requires a breath every third arm recovery, ex every 1.5
cycles, alternating sides for breathing. Some swimmers instead take a
breath every cycle, ex every second arm recovery, breathing always the
same side. Since respiration and slightly reduced speed, most
competition swimmers breathe every 1.5 cycles. Swimmers sprint the
final few meters away you can breathe much less, and rarely sprint
breathe at all, for example, in a short race distance of 50 meters, most
competitors prefer to breathe only 3 times throughout the race, after the
first 25 and twice in the last 25 after the pull back.
In water polo, and sometimes the head is kept away by the waters of all
the improved visibility and easier breathing, at a price much steeper
body position and higher drag.
Body Movement
The body rotates around its long axis in each movement of the arm to
the shoulder of the recovering arm is higher than the shoulder to push
or pull the arm. This makes recovery easier and reduces the need to turn
your head to breathe. As one shoulder is out of the water which reduces
drag, like a dropped shoulder, arm help trap the water, such as shoulder
stands, the support arm at the end of the thrust of the water.
From side to side movement is minimized: one of the main functions of
the kick is to maintain the line of the body.
Breathe through your nose prevents water from entering the nose.
