Freestyle came to humans pretty much naturally since it evolved from a doggy paddle stroke, and it’s human instinct to start swimming into that position since our first reaction of being put into water is survival. Front crawl or freestyle was the very first style of swimming that humans adapted and improved upon. After the first olympics being held as open water swimming, after a few olympics closed water swimming was introduced and front crawl or freestyle was the first event that was introduced, the events were 50m, 100m, 200m freestyle.

New Development:

Analysis of the performance of finalist swimming athletes in Olympic Games of 2008 Beijing, 2012 London and 2016 Rio was done very recently in 2020 by D Silva and very interesting information was found out on their reaction time, partial time, speed and final time. Reaction time plays a very important role in deciding the final results of a race, speed varies during the race and partial time helps in understanding the final time and how it changes over the course of the race.
