Freestyle, basically. Crawl stroke was the REALLY old name for it.
Yes
The Australian crawl was the original name for the swimming stroke now known as Freestyle. the stroke was developed in Australia.
Swimming can be competitive or recreational (also: synchronized swimming) Competitive swimming is divided into four different strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breastroke, and butterfly. These can be combined in different lengths to create many swimming events.
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!
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
the butterfly stroke

I think you mean Australian Crawl. It's usually the fastest stroke. Some people mistakenly call it Freestyle.
Swimming is the sport that includes crawl, backstroke, and butterfly as different strokes swum competitively. Each stroke has specific techniques and rules that swimmers must follow during races.
The most popular swimming stroke is the Australian Crawl. Also, it is one of the fastest. Others include the Butterfly, backstroke, and of course, the dogpaddle!
