What joints are used when swimming?

Answer 1

§The hinge joint: permits a motion, allowing parts of the body to extend and flex. With this particular joint, one bone must be concave and the other convex to allow the most extensive range of motion. An example of a hinged joint used in swimming would be the knee.

Answer 2

Butterfly uses a lot of joints. The wrists will flex in order to "catch" the water, followed by the use of the elbow joint and the shoulders in order to complete the stroke. In the lower body, the hips, knees, and ankles are required to generate the undulating kick. In terms of the body, it is a very involved stroke.

In short: wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle.

Answer 3

You use many joints. They include the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle.
