The backcrawl is a swimming stroke where a swimmer floats on their back and uses an alternating arm movement while kicking with their legs. The arms move in a circular motion, pulling the swimmer through the water, while the legs perform a flutter kick. The swimmer's face stays above the water for easy breathing. Backcrawl is the only stroke swum on the back in competitive swimming, and it requires good coordination, balance, and a strong kick. It is often used in races or as a relaxing, less tiring stroke.
