The four stroke for competitive swimming are
1) Butterfly
2) Backstroke
3)Breaststroke
4)Freestyle (Front Crawl) References :
There are four strokres. They are the butterfly stroke, the breast stroke, the back stroke, and the freestyle stoke. I use to be on the swimming team and I love it. I as third in the state of NC. References : Personal experience.
Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, and Freestyle. Those are the only legal strokes for competition. Also work on flipturns for back and free (if you have a friend who knows how to do this have them teach you how. It will make joining the team much easier.) References :
butterfly
back stroke
breaststroke
freestyle
those are the four strokes to know. in an actually swim event however, there is a "5th" stroke. the IM or individual medley. its a blend of all four strokes. so in order to be on a swim team, i recommend that you also get the IM down. References : i have been swimming for 4 years and finally got some respectable times.
ya there is IM but that is the individual medly which is all the strokes. first you do butterfly, then backstroke, breastroke, freestyle. on relays you start with backstroke, breastroke butterfly, freestyle References :
just remember the IM strokes: Fly, back, breast, free. References :
The strokes are
Butterfly, Backcrawl and Breaststroke.
Events for these strokes are 50m* 100m and 200m
*50m is no swam at Olympics.
There is also Freestyle, which technically isn’t a stroke. You can choose what stroke you do. Most people however swim Frontcrawl as it is the fastest stroke. (Note Frontcrawl isn’t a competitive stroke).
Freestyle events include 50m, 100, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m*
Traditionally only woman swam 800m and men the 1500m. This is changing of late though, but i still believe that it is the case for Olympics.
I.M. is swimming each stroke in succession. The order is;
Fly, Back, Breast then Free.
Events are 100m, 200m, and 400m. 100m can only be swam in a short course pool and therefore isn’t an Olympic event.
Relays can be swam as;
4 x 50m Freestyle and Medley (Not at Olympics)
4 x 100m Freestyle and Medley
4 x 200m Freestyle
Medley Relays are swam in the following order;
Backcrawl, Breaststroke, Butterfly then Freestyle References :
