Grade 3 Movement – Basic Swimming Skills Quiz

The flutter kick is the kick movement that propels a swimmer forward by kicking their legs up and down in a continuous motion.

The Butterfly stroke involves pushing the arms in a circular motion to propel the body through the water, with a dolphin kick to help maintain momentum.

Freestyle is the stroke where swimmers kick their legs simultaneously while using their arms to paddle forward in a freestyle motion.

Breaststroke is known for its frog-like kick and simultaneous arm movement, creating a smooth and gentle stroke in the water.

Backstroke is the stroke where swimmers are on their back and use a flutter kick and alternating arm movements to propel themselves through the water.

Freestyle is often referred to as the 'front crawl' and is the most common stroke used in swimming competitions.

The whip kick involves rotating the feet in a circular motion to propel the body forward, creating a powerful kick movement in swimming.

The Butterfly stroke is characterized by a simultaneous underwater pull and dolphin kick, creating a fluid and powerful stroke in the water.

Freestyle breathing is the term for the rhythmic breathing technique used during swimming strokes, where swimmers turn their head to the side to breathe while swimming.

Breaststroke is known for its slow and relaxed glide through the water, making it a popular choice for beginners learning how to swim.

Freestyle is the stroke where swimmers use a scissor kick and alternating arm movements to move through the water, creating a fast and efficient stroke.

Freestyle is known for its long and continuous flutter kick combined with alternating arm strokes, creating a smooth and efficient stroke through the water.

Dolphin kick is the term for the quick and powerful kicking movement used in the Butterfly stroke, helping swimmers maintain speed and momentum in the water.

Breaststroke involves a slow vertical movement with both arms moving in a circular motion, creating a gentle and relaxing stroke in the water.

Freestyle involves kicking with the legs in a circular motion and using a simultaneous arm pull, making it a versatile stroke for swimmers of all levels.

Freestyle is known for its rhythmic breathing and alternating arm movements, providing swimmers with an efficient and effective stroke in the water.

Treading water is the term for the kicking movement that maintains a swimmer's position in the water without moving, allowing them to stay afloat.

Freestyle involves rotating the head to the side to breathe while using a flutter kick and alternating arm movements, creating a smooth and efficient stroke in the water.

Doggy paddle is the term for the technique where swimmers keep their head above water and kick their legs to move, creating a slow but effective way to swim.

Backstroke involves a continuous flutter kick and alternating arm strokes while staying on the back, making it the only stroke where swimmers face the sky.

The correct body position for swimming is to keep your face in the water to help keep your body streamlined and reduce drag.

When swimming freestyle, you should pull your arms through the water in a circular motion to propel yourself forward efficiently.

The correct way to kick your legs when swimming breaststroke is with a frog kick, where your legs move in a circular motion like a frog.

In front crawl (freestyle) swimming, the typical breathing pattern is to breathe in every other stroke cycle (when one arm is pulling), and breathe out every stroke cycle (when the other arm is pulling).

When swimming breaststroke, you should use a breaststroke kick, where your feet are turned outwards and move in a circular motion to propel you forward.

When swimming front crawl (freestyle), you should enter the water with your fingertips first to reduce resistance and help propel yourself forward.

When swimming backstroke, you should float on your back with your face pointing up towards the sky and your body in a long, streamlined position.

When breathing in front crawl (freestyle), you should turn your head to the side to take a breath while keeping your face in the water for the rest of the stroke cycle.

When swimming freestyle, it is common to breathe in every two stroke cycles to maintain a steady breathing rhythm and avoid becoming out of breath.

For a strong backstroke kick, you should focus on kicking from your hips rather than just bending your knees, as this will generate more power and propulsion.

When swimming breaststroke, you should cup your hands to push water back behind you, which helps propel you forward and maintain a strong stroke.

The correct arm movement for butterfly stroke is a simultaneous arm movement where both arms move at the same time in a circular motion to lift the body out of the water and propel forward.

When swimming breaststroke, you should keep your head lifted looking forward to help maintain a strong body position and keep your body streamlined.

The correct leg movement for freestyle swimming is a flutter kick, where your legs move up and down in a continuous motion to help propel you forward efficiently.

When swimming breaststroke, you should float on your stomach with your face in the water and arms extending forward to maintain a streamlined position and efficient stroke.

The correct hand position for breaststroke pull is to have your fingers spread apart to help catch and pull the water effectively, generating propulsion and power in each stroke.

When swimming backstroke, you should breathe naturally, allowing your head to remain above the water and take breaths as needed without disrupting your stroke rhythm.

The correct arm movement for breaststroke is a circular movement where your arms sweep outwards and then come together to complete a full stroke cycle.

When swimming backstroke, you should use a flutter kick with your legs moving up and down in a continuous motion to help stabilize your body and maintain a smooth, steady stroke.

For an efficient freestyle stroke, you should focus on long, smooth strokes that reach forward and pull through the water with power, reducing resistance and propelling you forward.

When swimming breaststroke, you should breathe in on the recovery phase (arms coming forward) and breathe out on the pull phase (arms pushing back), maintaining a smooth breathing rhythm with your stroke cycle.

In butterfly stroke, you should use a simultaneous arm movement where both arms move together at the same time to generate power, lift the body out of the water, and propel forward with each stroke cycle.

When swimming freestyle, you should rotate your body from side to side with each stroke to engage your core muscles, improve reach, and generate power in your pull through the water.

When swimming breaststroke, you should kick with your feet, using a frog kick motion to help propel you forward and maintain a strong, efficient stroke.

When swimming front crawl (freestyle), you should use alternating arm movements, with one arm pulling while the other arm extends forward, creating a continuous stroke cycle for propulsion and speed.

When swimming backstroke, you should use a flutter kick with your feet moving in an up and down motion to help stabilize your body and maintain a steady stroke rhythm.

For a powerful breaststroke kick, you should focus on kicking from the hips with a strong, fluid motion that propels your body forward and generates speed in each stroke cycle.
