Odd Swimmer
"Swimmers, take your mark. Beeep!" yelled the announcer. Samantha jumped into the water and took off, she dog-paddled, swam a little butterfly, swam a little breaststroke, and even swam some backstroke. When she got out the timer told her she was supposed to be doing a specific stroke, but the DQ judge didn't disqualify her. Why?
Hint
Think about each individual stroke and their rules.Answer
Samantha was supposed to be doing freestyle. The coaches show you one way to do this stroke because it is the fastest way, but you can do whatever you like on freestyle except touch the bottom of the pool, so Samantha didn't get disqualified.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
