01Body Position

  • Start by lying face down in the water with your body stretched out.
  • Keep your head in line with your spine and look down towards the bottom of the pool.
  • Ensure that your hips and legs are near the surface of the water while your torso is slightly submerged.

02Arm Movement

  • Extend one arm forward with your fingers together and slightly angled downwards.
  • As your arm enters the water, bend your elbow and pull it back towards your hip.
  • At the same time, rotate your body slightly to the side.
  • As you recover your arm, bring it up and over the surface of the water, keeping it straight.
  • Continue the arm movement in a continuous and rhythmic motion.

03Leg Kick

  • Alternate your leg movement in a flutter kick.
  • Keep your legs relatively straight and kick from your hips.
  • Maintain a quick and continuous kicking motion, while keeping your ankles relaxed.
  • Avoid bending your knees too much or kicking too wide.

04Breathing Technique

  • Rotate your head to the side to take a breath as your arm recovers.
  • Breathe in through your mouth quickly and smoothly, then exhale through your nose and mouth underwater.
  • Try to time your breaths with your arm movements or whenever it feels comfortable.

05Drills and Practice

  • Perform drills such as the catch-up drill, one-arm drill, or fist drill to improve your front crawl technique.
  • Focus on timing, body alignment, and the fluidity of your movements.
  • Consistent practice is key to perfecting your front crawl.
