Sidestroke

This interactive illustration captures four moments in the sidestroke. The sidestroke is efficient and allows the swimmer to cover long distances without tiring. The face remains out of the water at all times, which permits the swimmer to breathe naturally. The sidestroke is not a fast stroke and is not raced in competition. In this diagram, the swimmer is moving to the right.
