Freestyle is a swimming event full of vitality and charm, which is not only competitive, but also has high fitness value. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, you can experience the fun and benefits of swimming.
The origin of freestyle
The origin of freestyle can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC. At that time, people had begun to use the simple forms of breaststroke and side stroke. With the passage of time, swimming has gradually developed into a sport and spread widely in Europe. It is said that in the swimming competition of the ancient Greek Olympic Games, someone used a stroke similar to freestyle.
Freestyle originated from the Australian aborigines' swimming style and developed into the modern swimming style in the early 20th century. Freestyle is not limited by any posture, and crawl is the fastest, so it is freestyle posture. This posture is reasonable in structure, low in resistance and even in speed, and it is the most labor-saving swimming posture.
