    Open water

    In open water swimming, where the events are swum in a body of open water (lake or sea), there are also 5 km, 10 km and 25 km
    events for men and women. However, only the 10 km event is included in the Olympic schedule, again for both men and women.
    Open-water competitions are typically separate to other swimming competitions with the exception of the World Championships and
    the Olympics.

    Swim styles
    In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established. These have been relatively stable over the last 30–40 years with
    minor improvements. They are:

     Butterfly
     Backstroke
     Breaststroke
     Freestyle
    In competition, only one of these styles may be used except in the case of the individual medley, or IM, which consists of all four. In
    this latter event, swimmers swim equal distances of butterfly, then backstroke, breaststroke, and finally, freestyle.[12] In Olympic
    competition, this event is swum in two distances – 200 and 400 meters. Some short course competitions also include the 100-yard
    or 100-meter IM – particularly, for younger or newer swimmers (typically under 14 years) involved in club swimming, or masters
    swimming (over 18).
