They are listed as follows:
Backstroke swimming (amateur competition, non-optimal style) In backstroke, the arms contribute most of the forward movement. The arm stroke consists of two main parts: the power phase (consisting of three separate parts) and the recovery. [3] The arms alternate so that one arm is always underwater while the other arm is recovering.
