Swimming Guides
Swimming can be a complicated sport, but we try our best to make it easy to understand. That’s why we’re launching several guides over the coming years.
Today, we have our Swimming 101 guide that’ll provide everything you need to know to get started on your swimming journey, our freestyle guide to help with your understanding of freestyle technique and training, and our Open Water Swimming 101 guide that covers all the basics on how to improve, stay safe, and have fun in open water. In July 2024, we will release our backstroke swimming guide with breaststroke, butterfly, and starts/turns to follow over the next year.
We hope you find our guides helpful. If there’s anything we missed, please feel free to email publications@usmastersswimming.org. Thank you for reading.
