scissor kick
Front crawl, sometimes misnamed a freestyle, is when you swim on your front with your arms windmilling alternately and your legs providing propulsion by alternate up and down motion. Freestyle is officially any stroke, i.e. in a 100m freestyle you can actually swim any stroke, however most people swim frontcrawl as this is the quickest.
There are just three basic kicks. Butterfly/Dolphin Kick- Powerful, fluid kick from the hips down, feet together. This is the only kick allowed in butterfly events, and is also done during the underwaters (after dives and turns, before breaking the surface) during freestyle and backstroke events as well. Doing this kick will disqualify you in a breaststroke race. Flutter/Freestyle Kick- Kick in which feet move independently in rapid flutter motion. This is the kick that you see swimmers do for freestyle and backstroke events (excluding the underwaters). This kick will disqualify you if you do it in a breaststroke or butterfly event. Breaststroke/Frog Kick- Most technical kick. Beginning with legs straight and together, knees bend to bring feet up, then legs separate and feet arc out and down, eventually bringing legs back together in starting position. The movement is similar to the way frogs swim, hence it commonly being referred to as 'frog kick.' This kick is only used for breaststroke, although technically it is allowed in freestyle (virtually all competitors elect to preform the much faster flutter kick).

1500 m freestyle
A two-hundred yard freestyle is an event at a swim meet in which the swimmer will swim the freestyle stroke back and forth across a normal pool four times (twice across, twice back).
To swim all the strokes, it's essential to master the basic techniques for each style: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Start with freestyle by focusing on a streamlined body position and alternating arm movements while kicking. Transition to backstroke by lying on your back, using a flutter kick, and alternating arm movements. For breaststroke, emphasize a frog kick and simultaneous arm movements, while butterfly requires a dolphin kick and coordinated arm pulls. Practicing drills for each stroke will help improve technique and efficiency.
Swim, freestyle as much as possible.
