I remember reading somewhere (could be this forum) that when you go to a pool in the U.S., you see mostly front crawl/freestyle swimmers, whereas in the UK, breaststroke is more popular. It will be interesting to know what is the most popular stroke in each country. For example, what about Canada? I suppose the same as the U.S., being so close? Other countries?
if you are talking about the general swimming public, then in sweden it is heads up breaststroke.
there is 1-2 lanes dedicated to "crawl" or sometimes called the fast lane, but for the most part swedes swim heads up ***.
I have yet to see more than 2-3 of the 20+ swimming at open lane time swimming freestyle
if you are refering to masters, it's sprint (all strokes) then free and distance free that have the majority of the sign ups at our meets.
