back stroke
Front crawl, or also called freestyle.
Some people call it the front crawl. Most people call it Freestyle. It is generally the fastest stroke which is swum on your stomach.
the butterfly stroke
Front crawl is the fastest swimming stroke in swimming. According to world record times, at every distance in international competition, the order of swimming stroke speeds from fastest to slowest is: 1. Front crawl (commonly known as, and chosen for, freestyle) 2. Butterfly 3. Backstroke 4. Breaststroke
If they had to I think they would. Front crawl is the fastest type of stroke so they would try to use it for most of the event and not others like the breastroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc.
the fastest swimming stroke is the butterfly...well it is supposed to be, but since it is such i difficult stroke as well it is harder to swim a long distance well. So the most efficient and fast stroke would have to be freestyle (the front crawl) hope i helped :) The fastest stroke is front crawl, full stop!
My favorite all around exercise stroke is front crawl. It really gets the cardiovascular system going and is generally considered to be the stroke that propels you (most people) quickest in the water. The butterfly stroke is actually a bit faster, but only among professionals with very good technique. Good butterfly requires exacting technique that the front crawl doesn't. If you're trying to kick your exercise up a notch, try swimming front crawl and increasing the number of strokes per breath. This will force your body to adapt to working on less oxygen and make your muscles more efficient. This is called hypoxic swimming, and the principle can actually be applied to any swim stroke. Any swim stroke can be performed with any level of effort, and because of this any stroke can give good cardio exercise. Typically, though, the front crawl can be done by a beginner and easily involves a good effort from the body.
there is non like when you have fallen in a river your going to do front crawl not back stroke or butterfly to save your life
The American crawl involves further extension of the arm at the water-entry point and a faster kick, compare to the Australian, which is only of historical interest. What today is called the front crawl is the American crawl.
There is no such stroke. The 4 strokes are freestyle (front crawl), breaststroke ("frog kicks" with "ice cream shape" pulls on your front), backstroke (circular arm motions with straight leg kicks on your back), and butterfly (double arms forward with a dolphin kick on your front).
