	This swimming-stroke looks like the long Trudgeon where the body position is rolling from a horizontal position to a vertical position on the side. The arms make a double overarmstroke which means that the trailing- and the leading arm making a full pull through. The legs make a scissor-kick followed by some crawl-kicks familiar of the frontcrawl. The combination of the arms and legs is long, all followed by a long gliding-phase on the side (about 2 seconds). In the past this swimming-stroke was the greatest long distance stroke which was swum while crossing the English Channel.

	This swimming-stroke looks like the long trudgeoncrawl except with a wide scissor-kick and one crawltick. Difficult swimming-stroke to swim.

 

	This swimming-stroke looks also like the long trudgeoncrawl. The only difference is that the combination of the arms and legs is semi-long. Also a difficult swimming-stroke to swim, just like with the previous stroke.

 

	Looks like the long trudgeoncrawl. The legstroke, however, is a wide scissor-kick followed by a frog-kick. Very interesting swimming-stroke! Click on the film to see an animation of this swimming-stroke (opened in a pop-up)...

 

	Looks like the long trudgeoncrawl. The legstroke, however, is very different; it's a noshi-kick followed by crawl-kick.

 

	The last swimming-stroke on this page is the long trudgeoncrawl with closed scissor-kick and looks like the long trudgeoncrawl. The difference here is also mainly the movement of the legs; a closed scissor-kick or an inverted scissor-kick is made followed by a few crawl-kicks. This swimming-stroke is good to swim and got rated at 7 on a scale of 10.
