Freestyle
I always enjoy freestyle for its effectiveness; everything from the controlled kicks to the tumble roll makes it feel much more purposeful than other strokes. My best time was 31-32 seconds for 50 SCY at my local Rec center.
Butterfly
Although my friends usually dislike Butterfly for its excessive reliance on upper-body strength, I just love how it looks in action. I’ve never specifically worked on the Butterfly, but it’s definitely my second-favorite stroke. Below is a video of me swimming a 25 SCY Butterfly warmup.
