By freestyle I mean front crawl. At the pool I see many people swim only freestyle. Some regulars swim it continuously for more than an hour, nothing else, day after day. Unless they are preparing for some coming race, I wonder why they don't get bored? It's also easy to get injury if you swim only one style for long term. Does anyone here belong to this category? If so, I'm interested to know what's your mindset. :D
If you think about it, swimming is somewhat unique in having different strokes. Think about runners. They don't decide to run a mile backwards every so often just so they don't get bored! So, in that sense, I don't think it's strange at all that lots of people swim freestyle exclusively.
Hurdles. Steeplechase. Racewalking.
