What is the "crawl"?
The crawl is a fast swimming stroke where a swimmer alternates their arms in a windmill motion, pulling the body through the water, while kicking with a flutter kick. The swimmer’s face stays in the water, turning to the side to breathe. This stroke is the quickest and most commonly used in competitive swimming. It requires good technique, strong arm strokes, and an efficient kick to maintain speed. The crawl is often used in freestyle races and is known for its efficiency and ability to cover long distances quickly.
Example
He perfected his crawl to increase his speed in races.
Crawl is often the preferred stroke for freestyle events.
