When doing swimming strokes, know that freestyle strokes actually have a method to them—you can't just swim freely. Take heed of the following advice when swimming freestyle:

• Push past the hips
• Elbows straight up
• Fingertips close to the water and near your body
• Slight shoulder roll
• Breathe every 3 strokes
• Don't stop kicking
