Answer 2

If you mean strokes then there are four main ones...

• Front crawl/Freestyle
• Backstroke
• Breaststroke
• Butterfly

But by types you probably mean: Speed, and Synchronised.

Speed Swimming is when you do a certain distance and swim it as fast as you can.

Synchronised Swimming is when you make a routine up with music either by your self or with others.
