So far I’ve answered all but 2 of the questions correctly…. 45 of them. I do have to say that this seems to have little to do with whether or not your mind is fit but whether or not you know golfing, lawn bowling, etc. depending on where a person lives, education level, interests, movies seen, history.

Question 40: freestyle is not a stroke! It’s an event. Front Crawl is the stroke usually swam in a ‘freestyle’ event; however, a swimmer may perform any stroke he/she hasn’t swam in another event. I’m a retired USSA coach and Water Safety Instructor Trainer. It is extremely irritating to hear people refer to front crawl as freestyle! I’m also a distance swimmer and I swim breaststroke in the 500 freestyle event. Please correct the terminology in this question. 😊

[@j.sumner6999]

I always knew it as the Australian Crawl.

[@nancygreene7090]

@@j.sumner6999 You are correct! It was originally called the Australian crawl as the stroke originated in Australia and was used by the beach location lifeguards. The US changed it to front crawl sometime in the 70’s.
