Front crawl
swimming stroke
The front crawl (or simply 'crawl') is a type of swimming stroke. It is the fastest method of swimming.[1] Therefore it is the usual choice in freestyle events.
It is sometimes called the American or Australian crawl.[2] Athletes from both continents played a part in its development.
