What if you can't swim free style?

I never learned how to and now when I try it makes me very dizzy and is uncomfortable to swim. So I swim *** and back stroke and I'm happy in the pool. BUT, I have been asked by an OW swimmer who why I don't try swimming an OW event. I have the endurance for maybe 1 mile(I swim 2 miles av. per workout), but I would be mortified to be the only *** stroke swimmer. So, are there any OW swimmers out there that don't swim free but still participate in events?

    thanks for the feedback!and encouragement! I was trying to get an idea how practical swimming *** stroke would be in OW.It's one thing to swim in a nice clean pool,with no currents or much interference from other swimmers.From what I've seen, OW swimming is just a lot more agressive and there is a lot of tactic involved.
