Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discuss the possibility of breaststroke, sidestroke and elementarybackstroke as a lifesaving stroke.
The subjects were six male students who were learning physical education at university. They triedto swim 50m with three types of stroke, dressed with three types of wear. Type one was dressed inswimming pants, type two was dressed in long training wear and sports shoes, and type three wasdressed in shirts with long sleeves, winter jacket, long pants and sports shoes.
The results were as follows.
The Breaststroke was easy to swim putting on every type of wear and was supposed to be the beststroke for dressed swimming. The Sidestroke was difficult to swim in the three types of wear and wassupposed to have no strong point of the three kinds of strokes. The Elementary backstroke had the lowest influence to pulse and it was good to swim for a short distance. So it was supposed to be good as arescue work stroke.
