Why is the introduction to swimming in China basically breaststroke, while in the United States it is freestyle?

First of all, breaststroke is not low. There are many breaststrokes in China, which I think is related to the needs of students.

1. If the class hours are long (at least 30 classes), plan to learn four strokes systematically:

Then the order of swimming teaching, except butterfly can not be taught first, the other three are all possible, each with its own reasons. There are usually four ways:

Crawling upward frog butterfly

Crawling back butterfly frog

Back-crawling butterfly frog

The frog climbed back to the butterfly.

2. If the course is short (10 class), you plan to learn only one stroke, and of course breaststroke is the first choice. Swimming is not popular in China, especially the number of people who insist on swimming all the year round. So the actual demand is the second point, that is to say, we can see short summer courses and crash courses. In fact, there are many long-term training courses in China, but most of them are aimed at teenagers. They basically learn by climbing or backstroke, not the next one you imagine (this is called single teaching method). Generally, comprehensive teaching method is adopted. Several swimming movements are divided into independent movements and overlapping teaching.
