Swimming styles

Some of the most common swimming styles are:

• Crawl: This is the most common stroke in swimming. It is about having the position of the body face down and moving forward performing a movement in both arms alternately, also giving a changing amount of leg shakes.
• Fathom: It is considered the oldest, and the slowest, style. The swimmer's position is ventral, and performs synchronous and harmonious movements of the arms and legs.
• Back: It is considered one of the fastest styles. It's the same as the crawl modality but instead of being on your stomach, you're on your back.
• Butterfly: This is the newest and most modern style of swimming. In this one, the swimmer is in a ventral position, and unlike the front crawl, which alternates arms, it does so at the same time.
