      Foreword

      Idea of this book was to encompass all recorded swimming strokes as well as the new ones, with lack of literature, actually no systematic English publication on swimming strokes whatsoever. This fan of variations and techniques could find its copious use in competitive and artistic swimming, in producing drill patterns and great swim improvements, or in the case of artistic swimming with special emphasis on swift, performance and aesthetics (synchro swimming).

      Free water performance of free style could imply vertical and horizontal dive accompanied with shallow or float swimming. Artistic underwater dive and shallow pool competitions bring whole new dimension to the concept of swim sport.

      Looking vertically to swim dynamics or inventively on swim choice, stroke style and performance, as a full-range efficiency.

      There are great possibilities for human hydrodynamics. Man find out ease stroke or imitating move as amphibious frog stroke.

      Further this was implied on whole range of animals, dolphin stroke, paddle klokan stroke, heuristically spreading to in-water habitants, strides, quasi water jets, octos, fishes.

      Gradually swims started to modify those strokes, playing and sporting in water fluids independently, or as a strokes drills.

      The attempts were random, swimming innovations appeared individually. Such randomnesses revealed the inevitability of the human sporting spirit, the existence of new possibilities and the necessity for random innovations. From this overall use can be further developed.

      In any case, a holistic display shows all the width of human capabilities in water, the wholesome value of creative and suave water interaction.

      I would like to pay special gratitude to Mr. De Best and his swim site zwemslagen.nl without whose help this study would not be comprehensive as it is (especially Schermer Swim School), to Dixie Zone USMS, Mountain View Masters SSC California, X-cell Swim Team Mr. Haywood sites, Pocono Family YMCA Swim Team and pfyswim.com, for their usefull advice.

      Introduction

      Regarding development of style and techniques, the major emphasis was put on speed sports techniques involving oscillation and body caudal movement as the basis of its dynamics. Swimming was largely modified by pursue for these oscillatory seeking on improvements on vertical velocity.

      Significant progress has been made in efficiency and analysis of human hydrodynamics. However, general paradigm used pattern of fish-like swimming, especially those of thuniform manner trying to take conclusions on elements of human adaptable dynamics. Buoyancy is primarily understood in function of velocity, and not as an independent variable. Secondly, the need for swimming efficiency arose within coaching as convenience. Some would see necessity of taking into account all swimming variables and motions through out of a full scale of natural hydrodynamics. The history of swimming styles was very abundant one. The Frenchman Melchisédech Thévenot wrote The Art of Swimming, describing a breaststroke very similar to the modern breaststroke. While the British raced using breaststroke, the Native Americans swam a variant of the front crawl further developed into Trudgen style. The inefficiency of the trudgen kick led Australian Richard Cavill to try new methods. He used the Australian crawl stroke in 1902 at the International Championships and set a new world record. In 1934 David Armbruster, coach at the University of Iowa, devised a double overarm recovery out of the water. This butterfly arm action gave more speed but required greater training and conditioning. In 1837, London’s six artificial pools hosted competitions. They began to formulate new swimming styles including the sidestroke and later evolved freestyle swimming. The 1896 Athens Olympic Games included swimming, offering the 100 meter and 1500 meter freestyle. The backstroke was eventually perfected by Australian swimmers, who bent their arms underwater to increase the horizontal, forward push. While the backstroke had always included a straight arm during the underwater push, from 1935 to 1945, this new technique became a swimming style that is now practiced all over the world.

      Gliding and propulsion

      The modern swimming styles encompass artificial propulsion dynamics on-surface, concerning less with natural modes, and widespread underwater swimming techniques. Natural modes are however the only known mode of swimming having its due to density dynamics, efficient and more adjustable swimming solution. Indeed, underwater technique is inclusive example of hydrodynamics with different forms of locomotion within the water providing various velocity.

      Natural swimming motions are divided into: anguilliform, subcarangiform, carangiform, thuniform, ostraciiform, similar as in Lindsey (1978). Anguilliform in correlation with dynamics of eel, lamprey and sea snake adjusted to morphology and hydrodynamics of man.

      Lighthill (1970) view eel style as aquatic propulsion of high hydromechanical efficiency. On Saragosso theory eel style is generally proved to be technique with low energy cost.

      Characteristics of eel swimming style: small frictional drag, low aerobic demand, active buoyant force, good gliding, undulatory propulsion, high frequencies and low swim velocity.

      Undulation on surface reduce to half body friction creating active figure buoyancy.

      Concerning human morphology oscillatory flatter kick is more suitable, hence all swimming techniques exert vertical oscillation with upward propelling. Therewithal, it would be interesting to introduce horizontal undulation to swimming technique. Flicker kick, as vibration of both, hands and legs, with slight deviation of arms within regular undulation will produce powerful horizontal dynamics. Swimmer by propelling is not just vibrating, this is proved
