This swimming-stroke looks like the previous stroke. However, with this swimming-stroke the arms move under water and its combination is short (on both sides). The swimmer can choose if he/she wants to add a gliding-phase or not.

This swimming-stroke looks like the double Spanish stroke. The combination of the arms and legs is semi-short and semi-long. Because of this its difficult to swim. That is why this swimming-stroke got rated at 5.

Agottiaux or coupe française, according to Blache.

This swimming-stroke looks also like the double Spanish stroke where the body is rolled from side to side. The armstroke is fully pulled through and the hands dabbles on both sides. The combination of the arms and legs differs from a normal combination because the armstroke comes first and then the legstroke.
