This race consisted of four lengths of the pool, all lengths being in butterfly stroke. [3]

Butterfly stroke swimming stroke swum on the breast, with both arms moving simultaneously

The butterfly is a swimming stroke swum on the chest, with both arms moving symmetrically, accompanied by the butterfly kick. While other styles like the breaststroke, front crawl, or backstroke can be swum adequately by beginners, the butterfly is a more difficult stroke that requires good technique as well as strong muscles. It is the newest swimming style swum in competition, first swum in 1933 and originating out of the breaststroke.
