OLYMPIC POOL’S DIMENSION
COMPETITIVE TYPES OF STROKES * FREESTYLE * BREAST STROKE * BACKSTROKE * BUTTERFLY
FREESTYLE * Freestyle swimming implies the freedom to choose any stroke style for competitive swimming. This style is generally the fastest.
BACKSTROKE is one of the four swimming styles used in competitive events regulated by FINA , and the only one of these styles swum on the back. This swimming style has the advantage of easy breathing, but the disadvantage of swimmers not being able to see where they are going .
BREASTSTROKE is a swimming style in which the swimmer is on their chest and the torso does not rotate. It is the most popular recreational style due to the swimmer's head being out of the water a large portion of the time, and that it can be swum comfortably at slow speeds.
BUTTERFLY is a swimming stroke swum on the chest, with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by the butterfly kick (also known as the "dolphin kick").
INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY Individual medley consists of a single swimmer swimming equal distances of four different strokes within one race.
Individual medley consists of four strokes. The swimmer will swim one quarter of the race in each style, in a certain order. The strokes are swum in this order : Butterfly Backstroke Breaststroke Freestyle ( this can be any stroke except the butterfly, backstroke, or breaststroke ; most swimmers use the front crawl )
MEDLEY RELAY Medley relay consists of four different swimmers in one relay race , each swimming one of the four strokes.
Medley relay is swum by four different swimmers, each swimming one of the four strokes. The order of the strokes is as follows: Backstroke Breaststroke Butterfly Freestyle the only limitation being that none of backstroke, breaststroke, or butterfly stroke may be used for this leg. Most swimmers use the front crawl .
