Why this skill rocks
Dive in and learn to glide through the water like a fish! Mastering these strokes makes swimming fun and helps you stay safe in any water.
2034Where this could take you
When the Olympics come, you could be a lifeguard keeping everyone safe at the pools, or even training for a swimming event yourself.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Swim Goggles
RequiredGood goggles that seal properly let you see your lane, watch your stroke, and train comfortably. Fogged or leaky goggles make every drill harder than it needs to be.
Kickboard
RequiredA kickboard isolates your legs so you can drill kick technique without worrying about your arms. Standard equipment at every serious swim practice and genuinely invaluable for learning butterfly and breaststroke kick.
Waterproof Fitness Tracker
A waterproof tracker counts your laps, tracks your heart rate, and logs your times automatically so you can review your training data and spot improvement trends. Great for serious swimmers who want numbers.
