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?

There's gotta be a good joke in there about a country famous for legalized prostitution having a swimming event where only breaststroke is allowed, but it probably violates forum rules, so I'll leave it at that...
That reminds of the joke about this Olympic swimming champion at the beach. He sees a beautiful woman go into the water and he decides to go in and impress her with his swimming and, hopefully, strike an acquaintance. He swims up to her; she swims away. He tries to speed up; she does so too and goes farther away. He goes all out; she leaves him way behind. He goes back ashore but asks her when she comes out, how was she able to outswim him and him an Olympic swimming champ. She replies, "I used to be a streetwalker." "Where?" he asks. "In Venice."
