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?

    *** could also be Benign Paroxymal Positional Vertigo, a fairly common affliction in which little chunks of calcium break off in the spiral balance chamber of the inner ear and start knocking around, giving that stuck-in-a-falling-dream feeling when you roll from side to side. I started experiencing a spinning sensation and loss of balance just reading this.
