What is the "combat sidestroke"?
The combat sidestroke is a swimming technique often used by military personnel or in rescue situations. It is similar to the regular sidestroke but with a few key differences, such as the swimmer keeping one arm free and close to the body for easier movement or to hold equipment like a weapon. The legs perform a scissor kick, and the swimmer’s head stays above the water for easy breathing. This stroke is efficient, allowing the swimmer to move silently and conserve energy while maintaining a steady pace. It is designed for situations where the swimmer needs to move quickly, quietly, or while carrying something.
