STROKES FOR SWIMMING SURVIVAL


1. Dog paddle: good for when you are clothed or wearing a life jacket.

2. Breast stroke: good for swimming underwater or in rough water.

3. Side stroke: a useful relief stroke because only one arm is needed to maintain buoyancy.

4. Back stroke: another good relief stroke. It relieves the muscles that are used for other strokes.

    How about floating? This helps when you are tired!

    Dr. Bob,
    I try to stay out of the water whenever possible. Being a big guy it takes a little more out of me to swim. Thanks for the info.

    Bobby,
    I agree with you, but you could build up your swimming skills. It is a great non traumatic way to exercise. Ah well, I think you have already made up your mind. Best of luck to you.

    Thanks,

    Dr. Bob Moulas
