    Dive in off the block normally, and turn over before you come up, and then just swim backstroke.

    The 4 basic strokes are Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, Front Crawl. Front Crawl is the fastest stroke so by default, any team will enter their best swimmer in each stroke which for "FREE STYLE" will be a swimmer doing the "Front Crawl". Hence, we will always see a "Free" event swimmer doing the "Front Crawl" stroke. That is until this event where the fastest swimmer Gretchen can do Fly faster than other swimmers can do Crawl and she can do Fly faster than she can do Crawl; hence what you just saw happen. Happy for her and makes for a great show and establishes an uniqueness for journalists to talk about in promoting the sport of swimming.

    In terms of beating a 50 time by .41 it’s kinda been done before. Going into 2018 NCAAs the men’s 50 free stood at 18.20 by dressel which he beat by .39 to 17.81 leading off the 200 free relay. Then he lowered it to 17.63 which is .57 lower than the previous record and I believe .84 lower than the next performer at the time (Cielo 18.47). I have no answer for qualifying for the 50 free backstroke though that’s just insane.

    It would truly be interesting if one of the "disciplines" also was the fastest way to swim freestyle. Would there effectively be twice as many events open to backstroke specialists, if they can compete without cross-training?
