6 Swimming styles newcomers don't know about

1. Doggy style:
   
   You my have heard of the dog paddle where you paddle like a puppy. Apparently it's like that. Not to be confused with the other style, they tell me, that would not be in good form for swimming. Unless you're an extraordinarily physically fit person, in which case you know your animals and their styles.
   
   
2. Froggy style:
   
   I am confident I've written about this before. You kick your licks like a frog and use your hands in front of you to push away the water, always looking up for some reason. Occasional croaking is recommended. Can't recommend this personally because this may look cool but I tend to rotate about a single point with this.
   
   
3. Caligal style:
   
   On your back, legs straight, arms a little stretched out, May need to kick your legs once in a while to stay afloat. Need some breathing control because you need to turn your body into a balloon to stay afloat.  It's cool because once you're good enough at this, you can use your hand to carry a drinks glass, add a straw and you're livin' the lifeee babyy!
   
   
4. Butt style:
   
   It doesn't matter what kind of stroke you're doing, the most prominent part of your technique has to be your butt. As in, how much is it bobbing compared to everyone else, how prominently does it show compared to the rest of the body, how is it that your butt is dry when the rest of your body is very deep inside the water. These are the questions this interesting approach raises. It's  scientific mystery this one.
   
   
5. Snek style:
   
   This is a rather advanced technique for beginners, but it's worth discussing here. This when you jump into the water and the onlookers see nothing but a tight straight wake above where they would expect you to be, and the next thing they know you're at the other end of the pool, having glided like a snek under the water. It's a pleasure to look at, even more than the butt style. Depending on the butts obviously, but in general I mean.
   
   
6. Flail style:
   
   To an untrained eye this looks like no stroke at all, rather it is most commonly thought that the swimmers practicing this style don't know how to swim at all and could drown very soon if no one were to save them. That is in no way close to the truth. As long as they're locomoting, they're swimming. Those who swim this style have a knack of beating all expectations and being places where no one would expect them to be.
