When you mention freestyle it can be any stroke.

It has a certain grace and smoothness.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/122677?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 May 2009 11:56:22 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4336cde3-10a9-485a-b854-3c5286042330SLOmmafanI think for the casual observer of the sport, butterfly is by far the most impressive feat a swimmer can accomplish in the pool. It makes the swimmer look powerful, and for someone who can&#39;t or does not swim regularly, it seems to be the most difficult and foreign stoke to perfect. I don&#39;t know if that makes it &quot;beautiful&quot;, but a properly perfected butterfly is nothing short of amazing - to me at least!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/122818?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 May 2009 11:12:04 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:33aff6d9-0c82-4942-a53b-7abc32a0353aFormer MemberThere really is only one stroke all others should not be allowed and it is not even mentioned in the poll.
