Types of Stroke. The most common type of stroke, accounting for almost 80 percent of all strokes, is caused by a clot or other blockage within an artery leading to the brain. An intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by the sudden rupture of an artery within the brain. Blood is then released into the brain compressing brain structures. A subarachnoid hemorrhage is also a type of stroke caused by the sudden rupture of an artery.
Freestyle/Front Crawl Stroke. The most common swimming stroke is the freestyle or front crawl stroke. It is the most natural to perform of all the different swim strokes and can be performed in a swimming pool or other bodies of water. The freestyle stroke allows you to swim straight on your stomach by kicking your legs and rotating your arms over your head.
