Swimming Tips

since we are more walking creatures than swimming ones…
i would have thought there are more ways to walk than swim…
breast stroke, free style, etc etc.

i got this swimming project due next week and i need to find info about swimming and i would like to know how many strokes there are.

If free style/front crawl is the fastest stroke, why do people compete in such events as the butterfly or the backstroke as it seems akin to doing the 100m hop or the 400m running backwards.
Is there any instance where choosing a stroke other than front crawl is actually quicker or more efficient?

I’m 19. I started going for swimming lessons about 2 months ago to perfect my strokes. I initially was afraid of swimming in the deeper ends of the swimming pool (2 metres) but now I’ve finally overcome that fear and have begun swimming laps.

However, I feel I’m quite slow- yesterday, I did 16 laps in 45 minutes (8 freestyle, 8 breaststroke) and I rested for about 30-60 seconds in after each lap.

How many laps should I be doing in 45 minutes? Is there a number I can work towards?

Any tips for swimming faster?

Thank you very much!
