		The sidestroke evolved out of the breaststroke technique in the 19th century, primarily because swimmers wanted to swim faster.
		However, because the sidestroke generates less force than the other strokes, it turned out to be slower.
		The sidestroke’s propulsion comes mainly from the legs in a movement called a scissors kick, because the legs are brought together powerfully like the shears of a pair of scissors.

	Scissor kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scissor kick is thus distinguished from the flutter kick used in the front crawl, in which the knees are bent.
		The scissor kick is used in the sidestroke.
		In some forms of football, notably association football (soccer) and Australian rules football, the scissor kick is a kick for goal where the player kicks the ball toward goal in the opposite direction to where they are facing by lifting their kicking foot to or above head height in the kicking action.

		Swimming, act of moving through the water by using the arms, legs, and body in motions called strokes.
		The most common strokes are the crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and sidestroke.
		The fifth major stroke, the sidestroke, is slower than the competitive strokes and is used primarily as a recreational and life-saving technique.

	HinesSight: Congratulations to the Napili Bay sidestroke champion
		Namely, me. One reason you don’t see a sidestroke trophy in this photo is that the fools in charge of swimming championships don’t consider the sidestroke to be a competitive stroke.
		Another reason is that no one except me entered the sidestroke event that I’ve been taking part in the past nine days on Napili Bay here on Maui, perhaps because my mind is the only place it’s been publicized.
		I’ve never seen a dolphin during my sidestroking, undoubtedly because they lurk just offshore gazing with awe upon a member of another species who rivals, if not surpasses, their swimming ability.

	History of Swimming
		The main swimming styles were the breaststroke and the recently developed sidestroke.
		Initially, the arms were brought forward under water, but this was soon modified to bring the arm forward over water to reduce resistance and to improve the speed, resulting in an overarm sidestroke.
		In 1895, J. Thayers of England swam 100 yards in a record-breaking 1:02.50 using a sidestroke.

		Plan Three would be to work about half the workout on my freestyle, with rest after each length and then do a continue sidestroke swim for the remaining time in the pool.
		Plan Four would be to say screw the freestyle right now, work on the continuous swim using sidestroke and get into better shape and then return to the TI drills and my freestyle.
		Just keep working at it until you have to do less and less sidestroke recovery laps - you'll get there - just focus on the end goal of swimming your goal swim distance 100% freestyle.
