There are only 4 'real' strokes

-freestyle

-backstroke

-butterfly

-breaststroke

These are the only 4 swam at the Olympics.

There are also stroke called 'survival stokes'. These include:

-survival backstroke

-survival breaststroke

-side stroke

These strokes are usually swam in open waters, like rivers, dams, and ocean.

But they aren't really stokes, just actions to keep your head above the water.
