Swimming Disciplines - TSV

Swimming disciplines are the competitive swimming classifications established by World Aquatics (formerly FINA). The system consists of four fundamental strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly), individual medley, and relay events. Each stroke has distance events such as 50m, 100m, and 200m, which are competed in international competitions including the Olympics and World Championships. Based on rules standardized by the International Swimming Federation established in 1908, competitions are held in a unified format worldwide.
