Answer 1

Here are some of the names I know:

Backstroke = estilo espalda

Breaststroke = estilo pecho

Freestyle = estilo libre

Crawl = crawl

I know that the word for butterfly is mariposa, but I'm not sure if the swimming stroke has the same name.

The other words are available in the dictionary available on this site.

Yes, it is "mariposa". - 00e657d4, Oct 7, 2011
