The backstroke is a swimming stroke where the swimmer lies on their back and uses an alternating arm movement, with each arm pulling the body through the water in a circular motion. The legs perform a flutter kick, with the swimmer’s face staying above the water for easy breathing. Backstroke is the only competitive swimming stroke swum on the back and requires good balance, coordination, and endurance. It is often used in races and is considered a less intense stroke compared to others, providing swimmers with a chance to rest while still maintaining speed.
