learning on how to swim is can be a beneficial for us as a future educator we can use it in the

enjoyable, because we can spend our time with our friends and classmates and it is enjoyable
beacause while we are learning we are enjoying what we do.

strokes. For backstroke, backstroke can be thought of as almost a mirror image of freestyle;
rather than facing down, you will stay in horizontal position looking up as you move your arms
and legs, and your arms will propel you forward.
