The dog paddle (The term doggy paddle is also popular in the United Kingdom) is a simple swimming stroke. It is characterized by the swimmer lying on their chest and moving their hands and legs alternately in a manner reminiscent of how dogs and other animals swim. It is often the first swim stroke done by young children when they are learning to swim.
