Question

I want to start swimming off season of softball so i can keep myself in shape over the winter. what are the strokes i need to learn in my pool over the summer???

Answer 1

The four stroke for competitive swimming are

1) Butterfly

2) Backstroke

3)Breaststroke

4)Freestyle  (Front Crawl)

Answer 2

ya there is IM but that is the individual medly which is all the strokes. first you do butterfly, then backstroke, breastroke, freestyle. on relays you start with backstroke, breastroke butterfly, freestyle

Answer 3

There are four strokres.  They are the butterfly stroke, the breast stroke, the back stroke, and the freestyle stoke.  I use to be on the swimming team and I love it.  I as third in the state of NC.

Answer 4

Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, and Freestyle. Those are the only legal strokes for competition. Also work on flipturns for back and free (if you have a friend who knows how to do this have them teach you how. It will make joining the team much easier.)

Answer 5

The strokes are

Butterfly, Backcrawl and Breaststroke.

Events for these strokes are   50m* 100m and 200m

*50m is no swam at Olympics.

There is also Freestyle, which technically isn't a stroke. You can choose what stroke you do. Most people however swim Frontcrawl as it is the fastest stroke. (Note Frontcrawl isn't a competitive stroke).

Freestyle events include 50m, 100, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m*

Traditionally only woman swam 800m and men the 1500m. This is changing of late though, but i still believe that it is the case for Olympics.

I.M. is swimming each stroke in succession. The order is;

Fly, Back, Breast then Free.

Events are 100m, 200m, and 400m. 100m can only be swam in a short course pool and therefore isn't an Olympic event.

Relays can be swam as;

4 x 50m    Freestyle and Medley   (Not at Olympics)

4 x 100m  Freestyle and Medley

4 x 200m  Freestyle

Medley Relays are swam in the following order;

Backcrawl, Breaststroke, Butterfly then Freestyle

Answer 6

butterfly

back stroke

breaststroke

freestyle

those are the four strokes to know. in an actually swim event however, there is a "5th" stroke. the IM or individual medley. its a blend of all four strokes. so in order to be on a swim team, i recommend that you also get the IM down.

Answer 7

just remember the IM strokes:  Fly, back, breast, free.
