The aim of this article is to address the familiar question “Which swimming stroke should be taught first?” The discussion is usually focused on breaststroke versus crawl. Provoked by these naïve discussions of which stroke should be taught first (as if stroking equals swimming, which it emphatically does NOT), the question was answered metaphorically in an earlier article “No Stroke First – All Strokes First” (Stallman, 2008a). Here in Part I we identify and describe six strokes, all of which might be a candidate for any learners ‘very first’ stroke. We describe them as beginning strokes. Having identified and learned which one that a learner finds to be their easiest, the learner should then acquire the others. This strategy not only places the learner’s easiest stroke first but adds the other “beginning strokes” and launches an all-around foundation upon which all other strokes can more easily be learned.

Upper body kinematic differences between maximum front crawl and backstroke swimming
Gonjo, Tomohiro; Fernandes, Ricardo J.; Vilas-Boas, João-Paulo; Sanders, Ross (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of this study was to investigate why front crawl is faster than backstroke from a kinematic perspective. Three-dimensional kinematics were obtained from one upper-limb cycle of ten male competitive swimmers ... -
"Which stroke next? All strokes next!": Part two: Strokes for intermediate and advanced swimmers
Stallman, Robert Keig; Horneman, Ebbe L.; Vikander, Nils Olof; Mwaipasi, Alexander; Laakso, Bente W. H.; Nysted, Haakon-Paavo L.; Ongala, Toni (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The primary goal of this two-part project is to answer the rhetorical question of which strokes should be taught first, and which later (Langendorfer, 2013, Stallman, 2014a). As you have seen in Part One, we emphasize (as ... -
How do swimmers control their front crawl swimming velocity?: Current knowledge and gaps from hydrodynamic perspectives
Takagi, Hideki; Nakashima, Motomu; Sengoku, Yasuo; Tsunokawa, Takaaki; Koga, Daiki; Narita, Kenzo; Kudo, Shigetada; Sanders, Ross; Gonjo, Tomohiro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study was to review the literature on front crawl swimming biomechanics, focusing on propulsive and resistive forces at different swimming velocities. Recent studies show that the resistive force increases ...
