The american front crawl was invented by Johnny Weismuller (tarzan) and is considered the same as freestyle in the racing terms. The backstroke is also known as the Back Crawl.

There are four swimming styles commonly swum in competitions. Three of them are regulated by the FINA. These three are:
Breaststroke
Backstroke
Butterfly
A fourth competition is for unregulated styles and is called freestyle. During freestyle, it is possible to swim any style on this list. Due to the superior speed, most swimmers choose front crawl for freestyle competitions. For medley swimming freestyle is any style except breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly.

Crawl is the name given to the stroke you must use in the Individual medley after fly, back, breast, then crawl (free). In the Medley Relay, it is the stroke used after back, breast, fly...and the free is a stroke that has not been done in any of the other legs. When swimming freestyle, you may use any stroke. The exceptions are the Medley Relay, and the Individual Relay.

The Australian Crawl as it is called is the same as free. Butter is two free arm and two free legs at the same time and you must do a simulations two hand touch. Brest is a very slow stoke it's hard to describe you breath every stoke and as with Butter it's a simulations two hand touch. Back is free on your back basically you must stay on your back except for turning.

aside from the "australia crawl stroke"
In scuba [..]J d6v9ing, the crawl we do is when there's heavy over growth (seaweed, kelp etc) preventing you from diving right in the water, but makes you sort of crawl thru it til you get to open water. yeah i know you mean the aussie one, but i love scuba! wrecks the best ;o)
