		In the Western world, the front crawl was first seen in a competition held in 1844 in London, where it was swum by South American Indians, who easily defeated the British breaststroke swimmers.
		This style is slower than the regular front crawl and is rarely used competitively: however, it is often used for training purposes even by professional swimmers, as it increases the body's awareness of being streamlined in the water.
		Normally, the face is in the water during front crawl with eyes looking at the lower part of the wall in front of the pool, with the waterline between the brow line and the hairline.

	Front Crawl
		In the western world, the front crawl was first seen in a competition held in 1844 in London, where it was swum by Native American s, who easily defeated the British breaststroke swimmers.
		This style is slower than the regular front crawl, and is very rarely used competitively: however, it is often used for training purposes even by professional swimmers, as it increases the body's awareness of being streamlined in the water.
		Normally, the face is in the water during front crawl, with the waterline approximately at the height of the eyes.

		To determine the crawl ratio of a truck, multiply the transmission first gear, low range transfer case gear and ring and pinion ratio.
		Now with the second reduction unit my crawl ratio is now 200:1 with both cases in low range and the tranny in first gear.
		The process of building the Crawl Box requires a key-way to be welded on to a shift fork and main shaft to be pressed apart but is mostly a bolt together affair.

	Front Crawl Stroke
		The front crawl, sometimes called the freestyle, is the fastest stroke.
		It results from three movements: (1) the high recovery of one arm, (2) the downsweep of the other arm, and (3) the sideways force of the kicks as the legs roll with the rest of the body.
		Body roll is important for almost all aspects of the front crawl.

	An Alternative Fluid Dynamic Explanation for Propulsion in Front Crawl Swimming
		Calculation of propulsion in front crawl swimming relies on the quasi-steady assumption that the fluid dynamic behaviour of a hand model in a flow channel (constant velocity and orientation) is similar to that of a hand of a real swimmer swimming the front crawl.
		Kinematic analysis of the trajectory of the hand during the swimming stroke suggests that the hand movements are in fact far from steady, both in terms of velocity and particularly in terms of the direction of movement (Berger et al., 1997; Schleihauf et al., 1983), while rotations of the arm segments are a prominent feature.
		Therefore, a re-evaluation of the hydromechanic propulsion mechanisms operative during the front crawl swimming is appropriate.

		Extend arms out in front of the body without the kickboard, assuming streamlined body position for balance, and repeat kicking action.

	What stroke should be taught first?
		Being able to perform the skill of front crawl swimming is dependent on being able to breath and being able to breath is dependent on being able to perform the skill.
		The advantage of teaching back crawl first is that many of the sub skills are well developed and can transfer to the more complex task of front crawl swimming.
		Although the front crawl arm stroke and body roll is somewhat different, the concept and feel of rolling the body around its long axis is well established and facilitates ready transfer to front crawl.

	Marlin Crawler Cheap Tricks
		The front crawl box is sandwiched between the transmission and the actual transfer case and it is 6.5" long.
		The insertion of the crawl box pushes the output flange of the transfer case back 6.5", causing it to sit right under the rubber hose connections to the rear heater core.
		Granted, if I had a true front locker, I wouldn't have been hung up in that situation, but the TrueTrac is so nice in the snow, that this quirk is worth living with.
