---- Englishman Richard Cavill developed the modern features of the freestyle, including the overarm strokes and the flutter kick, back in 1902. Since Cavill lived in Australia at the time, the stroke was then dubbed "the Australian crawl." Prior to that time, the side-stroke was commonly used in swimming competitions. The freestyle stroke was later polished and perfected by Olympian Johnny Weismuller in the 1920s. ----
