The crawl Is divided by experts
into three typical styles, known as
plain crawl and single and double
trudgeon-crawl, and each OF these
styles Is subdivided according to the
number of scissoring motions (tech-
nically termed ''beats") executed per
full stroke of the two arms
Broadly speaking. the plain crawl
calls for narrow leg thrash of even
scope and steady rhythm, in which
all scissoring motions are given the
same width; the single trudgeon-
rather wide (major) scissor and sew
eral smaller tminor) kicks, so that
the action Is featured by a well ac-
:ented mono-rhythm; the double trud-
geon crawl for two Of the major scis-
sors. with one or more minors after
each, which fmparts to the drive
distinct dual rhythm.
1t will be clear, therefore. that the
name eisht-beat plain crawl applies
to a stroke in which the legs perform
eight narrow kicks of the same width
per complete cycle of the two arms;
four-beat single trudgeon- crawl to
one featuring one major and three
minors per unit: siXbeat double trud-
geon-crawl to one in which two ma
jors, each followed by two minors, are
used, and so on.
When the developing swimmer has
improved sufficiently to warrant the
selection of a definite type of crawl
he, or she, can adjust the leg action
to any wanted number Of kicks, or
beats, by merely quickenirg and mar
