Well, it appears I disagree with some people over how many official strokes there are. I say four, seeing as how freestyle is different than any other stroke (you can swim butterfly in a freestyle event, but you can't swim freestyle in a butterfly event), and others say three. I looked at the rules on FINA, and they do classify freestle as a separate stroke -- thats why I keep trying to change it to four. Heres the link...

:Breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke are clearly defined styles, showing exactly what a swimmer can do and cannot do. If you see a swimmer swimming them, you know which style it is. Freestyle is ANY style (free - style!) , with pretty much no limitations (except for medley). Most people swim front crawl, which is a swimming style, but not officially defined by FINA. Heck, they would be allowed to [[dog paddle]], or use any of the [[List of swimming styles]].

Three or four official styles in swimming?
Well, it appears I disagree with some people over how many official strokes there are. I say four, seeing as how freestyle is different than any other stroke (you can swim butterfly in a freestyle event, but you can't swim freestyle in a butterfly event), and others say three. I looked at the rules on FINA, and they do classify freestle as a separate stroke -- thats why I keep trying to change it to four. Heres the link...

- Breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke are clearly defined styles, showing exactly what a swimmer can do and cannot do. If you see a swimmer swimming them, you know which style it is. Freestyle is ANY style (free - style!) , with pretty much no limitations (except for medley). Most people swim front crawl, which is a swimming style, but not officially defined by FINA. Heck, they would be allowed to dog paddle, or use any of the List of swimming styles. I am still strongly for "three official styles" -- Chris 73 | Talk 23:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
