List of swimming styles

This is a List of swimming styles commonly known and swum. They are grouped into competition style swimming, recreational swimming, and special purpose swimming as for example water rescue. These groupings, of course, are not definitive, and some special purpose strokes may be swum recreationally and vice versa. Furthermore, it is possible to swim only legs without arms or only arms without legs, but unless this serves a special purpose such sub-styles are not listed.
