Moxie just said a phrase I had never heard before, “the front crawl”.


Learnt something new today, the swimming stroke freestyle I had grown up swimming as a kid is actually not a specific stroke at all. It means you are free to swim the stroke of your choice. Just so happens “the front crawl”, which is the fastest swimming stroke, is the one always chosen by swimmers when asked to swim freestyle. They must refer to it as front crawl in the US, but I’ve always known it as freestyle when I did swimming growing up in regional Australia.
