What swimming event can swimmers change strokes?
You change strokes in the IM, Individual Medley, but it's in a certain order. First you do Butterfly, Then Backstroke, then Breaststroke, and then freestyle. In the IM you have to do the crawl for freestyle but in a freestyle event you can do a different stroke for the whole event, but it's not advised unless you're much faster in another stroke then the crawl.
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.
