1. Freestyle/ Frontcrawl - the swimming arm cycle and how it should be performed.

Freestyle is divided into two major phases, propulsive and non-propulsive, defined by where the arm is with respect to the water . The propulsive and non-propulsive phases are further broken down into four phases. The propulsive phase is pull/push and the non-propulsive phase is recovery/catch .
