This swimming-stroke looks like the Marinière where the body rolls from 90° on the side until 0° on the chest. The arms make a single overarmstroke where the trailing arm makes a full pull-through. The combination of the arms and legs is semi-long.



 

This swimming-stroke looks like the simple coupe except that the legs do a frog/scissor-kick. This means that the first part (or first half) of the frog-kick is swum and then transforms (the second half) into a scissor-kick. De combination of the arms and legs is long.

 

This swimming-stroke looks also like the simple coupe. The arms make a single overarmstroke where the hand and wrist of the trailing arm moves under water in front of the body. With the legs a frog-kick is made and the combination of the arms and legs is (suspected to be) semi-short.
