The backstroke, also called backstroke
History of Ailton Assis - Mato Grosso, Brasil
The backstroke, also called backstroke, is a fundamental swimming technique in which swimmers face away from the water. They perform alternating arm movements and leg kicks for propulsion. It is practiced in swimming competitions and is considered safer for beginners, as it does not require submerging the face in water. Additionally, it is taught in swimming classes and used for recreational exercise due to its low impact.
