2. Swim The aquatic sport of swimming involves competition amongst participants to be the fastest over a given distance under self propulsion. The order of the individual medley is butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. Swimming has been part of the modern Olympic Games since inception in 1896.

3. Freestyle Freestyle is an unregulated swimming style used in swimming competitions according to the rules of FINA. The front crawl stroke is almost universally used during a freestyle race, as this style is generally the fastest. As such the term freestyle is often used as a synonym for the front crawl

4. Backstroke The backstroke, also sometimes called the back crawl, is one of the four swimming styles regulated by FINA, and the only regulated style swum on the back. This has the advantage of easy breathing, but the disadvantage of swimmers not being able to see where they are going. It is also the only competition swimming style that starts in the water.

5. Butterfly The butterfly, (fly for short) is a swimming stroke swum on the breast, with both arms moving simultaneously. While other styles like the breaststroke, front crawl, or backstroke can be swum easily even by beginners, the butterfly requires very good technique to be feasible. Many students consider it the most difficult style of swimming. It is the newest swimming style swum in competition, first swum in 1933

6. Breaststroke The 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 its stability and the ability to keep the head out of the water a large portion of the time. In most swimming classes, beginners learn either the breaststroke or the front crawl first
