dog paddle
Novice swimming technique
Dog paddle is a basic swimming stroke where the arms move alternately underwater in short scooping motions while the legs kick, resembling how a dog swims.
It keeps the head above water and requires no formal technique, making it the instinctive stroke of children and inexperienced swimmers: She dog-paddled to the edge of the pool.
Also called dog paddling; as a verb, to dog-paddle.
