Etymology

The term sidestroke has its origins in the early 20th century, originating from the combination of the words 'side' and 'stroke', referring to the positioning of the swimmer's body during the technique. This method was developed as a more relaxed and less strenuous way to swim, allowing individuals to maintain a longer period of swimming without fatigue. It became popular among both competitive swimmers and those swimming for leisure. The sidestroke is also associated with lifeguarding practices, as it allows a swimmer to keep a lookout while aiding a distressed person in the water.
