Bugün öğrendim ki: "serbest stil" bir yüzme etkinliğidir, yüzme vuruşu değil. Serbest stil yarışlarda en sık kullanılan vuruşun adı “ön tarama”dır ancak yüzücüler istedikleri vuruşu kullanmakta serbesttirler.

It is one of two long axis strokes, the other one being the [backstroke](/wiki/Backstroke "Backstroke"). Unlike the backstroke, the [butterfly stroke](/wiki/Butterfly_stroke "Butterfly stroke"), and the [breaststroke](/wiki/Breaststroke "Breaststroke"), the front crawl is not regulated by the [FINA](/wiki/ FINA "FINA"). This style is sometimes referred to as the Australian crawl although this can sometimes refer to a more specific variant of front crawl.
