Why are most of us good at certain strokes and not others? Is it genetics, body type, coaching, preference?
And why are some of us good at long axis, but not short axis? And vice versa?
Or why are we good at one short axis stroke, but not the other?
what stroke is freestyle..... Fly? Backstroke? Butterfrog? Breaststroke? Sidestroke? or Crawl? or all of the above.Freestyle is any of these and more, except that in a medley relay or individual medley event, freestyle means any style other than butterfly, breaststroke or backstroke.
And if you want to be semantically correct, within the world of competitive swimming (according to FINA, USMS and USA Swimming rules) there is no reference to crawling; “In an event designated freestyle, the swimmer may swim any style”. This style could be a front crawl, back crawl, trudgen crawl, and who could forget the elementary backstroke. Except back crawl and elementary backstroke could not be used during the freestyle leg of an IM or MR.;):duel:
