Swimming : The history of the four strokes

 

 

Why there are only four strokes in the swimming competition? 

The leisure swimming would be different.

 Over hundreds, even thousands, of years, humans have perfected the art of swimming and figured out the fastest way to move through the water, leaving us with the four competitive strokes: Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. But the strokes we see the pros doing today have come a long way from their humble – and slow – beginnings. Who invented butterfly? Why are there only four competitive strokes? Can just anyone make up a stroke these days? Let’s dive into the history of each swim stroke and how they came to be the official racing lineup for swimmers around the world.
