trudgen , auch: trudgeon

A modification of swimming on the side is the Trudgen stroke.

Due to its speed the Trudgen became very quickly popular around the world, despite all the ungentlemanlike splashing.

His stroke, a variant of the front crawl, came to be called the Trudgen or Trudgeon.

This hybrid stroke was called the Trudgen stroke.

Byron may have used a variant of the trudgen, with breaststroke kicks and crawl-style arm action.

The trudgen is a swimming stroke sometimes known as the racing stroke, or the East Indian stroke.

His unprecedented success was widely attributed to his innovation of the trudgen stroke, a hybrid between the front crawl and sidestroke.

It is based on the Trudgen that was improved by Richard Cavill from Sydney, Australia.

The Trudgen, introduced in England during the 1880s, has been completely supplanted by the front crawl, also known as the Australian crawl.

The British apparently preferred a stroke named after the swimmer John Trudgen (born in 1852) which involved lying on one side and trying not to splash.

The Trudgen was improved by Australian-born Richmond Cavill (born Sydney 1884).

Due to a British dislike of splashing, Trudgen employed a scissor kick instead of the front crawl's flutter kick.

They modified their swimming stroke using this as inspiration and this modified Trudgen stroke became known as the "Australian crawl".

It was named by William John Baker, Mijoro Rakotoarinivo, and Melinda S. Trudgen.

These games differentiated between breaststroke and freestyle, so that there were now two defined styles (breaststroke and backstroke) and freestyle, where most people swam Trudgen.

However, Trudgen mistakenly used (in Great Britain) the more common sidestroke (scissor) kick instead of the flutter kick used by the Native Americans.

In 1873, John Arthur Trudgen introduced the trudgen to Western swimming competitions, after copying the front crawl used by Native Americans.

In the two-year period following the 1912 Olympics, Hatfield won ten English Championships and broke five world records with the then-revolutionary Trudgen crawl (a variety of front crawl).

Trudgen: (also known as trudgeon): The trudgen is similar to the front crawl, except that it is swum with a scissor kick, similar to that used in the breaststroke.

Sometime between 1870 and 1890 (the date is most often given as 1873), John Arthur Trudgen reintroduced the front crawl to England, having learned the stroke from Native Americans during a trip to South America.

Using the whip kick (from the breaststroke) with front crawl arms is called the Trudgen (after its inventor, Englishman John Trudgen), or the racing stroke; this was the original form of the front crawl and can still sometimes be seen.

Competitive swimming in Europe started around 1800, mostly using breaststroke and in 1873 John Arthur Trudgen introduced the trudgen to Western swimming competitions, after copying the front crawl used by Native Americans, but substituting a scissor kick for the traditional flutter kick in order to reduce splashing.
