Technical work in swimming is of paramount importance when accomplishing sports achievements; therefore, technical perfection is one of the main objectives of training. While the stroke technique is essential in swimming, particularly in the backstroke; a good technical execution of the stroke guarantees greater efficiency and speed, in addition to a lower amount of energy spent. Taking into account the above and the need for treating the training categories, the objective of the present work was to systematize the fundamentals of technical training of the swimming stroke.
