"Free"style of course
The backstroke.
8
yes there are touch pads in the olympic swimming pools that the swimmers have to touch to win the race.
for swimming there is a meet called Olympic trials to reach that point there are tie standards you must reach. From that point the swimmers swim once in prelims where the top 16 move on to semi finals once the swimmers swim here the Field narrows even more down to 8 swimmers finally the swimmers swim one last race in the finals the top two swimmers in that race go to the Olympics
Freestyle means the swimmer gets to choose their favorite stroke for that race .
They don't. Notice that they're either hanging on the lane line, grabbing the wall, or treading water.
It is not always, many events are relays with four swimmers. But most events for swimming are individual, as swimming is often described as a personal race against the clock.
The object of swimming is to swim a chosen race faster than all other contestants in your category. Swimmers are put in to 'heats' to race a chosen distance and stroke and are timed. The swimmer with the fastest completion time wins. Many competitive swimmers train constantly to became faster and gain effective techniques.
Backstroke flags are to be measured 15 feet from the pool's edge. Swimmers' stroke count from the flags varies by age, body size, and stroke efficiency, but typically a count will fall around 2-3 strokes for competitive adult swimmers. Younger athletes may take 3-5 strokes. Beginning level swimmers typically have a stroke count that changes as their stroke develops, but may reach up to 7 or more strokes at early ages. Stroke count can also vary based on pace (race intensity, practice intensity, etc). Most lane lines are designed with a color change that coincides with backstroke flag placement.
it depends on the stroke you are doing e.g:- backstroke - end on your back- breastktroke - touch with two hands- butterfly - touch with two hands- front cruel - end with on hand.
Swimmers may change between their race and practice suits at competitions because wearing the racing suit for long periods of time can be really uncomfortable. They tend to be more form fitting and some swimmers will go down a few sizes in their race suit, making it even tighter.
Two swimmers have the same power in a race when they exert equal energy output over a given time, which means their speed and resistance to drag must result in the same overall performance. This condition can occur if both swimmers have similar swimming techniques, body types, and environmental factors affecting their speed, such as water currents and temperature. Additionally, if they maintain similar stroke rates and efficiency, their power output can be comparable despite differences in their physical abilities.
