The sample of the study were 23 lifeguards who successfully passed the lifeguarding tests. A 15m maximum performance using side stroke with either SK or breast stork kicks BK ad libitum, with one hand above the water. Performance was videotaped, and data extracted from the videos were total time (TT), stroke count (SC), velocity (V), stroke length (SL), and stroke efficiency (Si). Results reveled that BS users were faster, have longer SL, less SC, and more efficient (Si). Nevertheless, the fastest lifeguard among the sample used SK, while the best average was for the BK users. However, we would recommend future implications considering larger sample, applying the study on professional swimmers, and using 3D analysis that would optimize performance of the 2 techniques.</p> ER -
