I mean, obviously you CAN (I assume it isn't banned), but do people actually do it? Whenever I've seen photos of triathlons, or open water swims in general, everyone seems to be doing front crawl.
I can swim front crawl, but I not for anything like as long as I can keep breaststroke up for. And I think I would get panicky about not seeing where I was going and all the people around me etc.

Do give it a go!..... we're a friendly and supportive bunch!
In normal triathlons though yeah plenty do. Annoyingly some can do it faster than I can crawl.
My tip if you're crap like me is to adopt someone doing this and follow them. Chances are they know where they are going.
