Why don't swimmers use the butterfly stroke in a freestyle event?
Swimmers don't use the butterfly because they can generally swim front crawl faster. The butterfly stroke is generally the second fastest of the four competitive strikes, but is not as efficient as front crawl or freestyle which is generally considered the fastest stroke. Also in a medley relay each swimmer is required to swim one of four different strokes (back, breast, fly and free), so two swimmers swimming butterfly would result in a disqualification. This would not apply to a freestyle relay.

I find alternating between the breast stroke, the crawl and the back stroke works lots of different muscle groups, and as you are alternating between swims gives each muscle group a break/rest.
