Aaron Gate is an Olympic bronze medallist and six-time Commonwealth Games medallist. Gate won Olympic bronze medal in the Team Pursuit at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Ten years later, at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Gate won a staggering four gold medals, making history as the first ever New Zealander to win four golds at a single Games.
At the Olympic Games, swimming events are held in a pool measuring 50 metres in length. The four strokes of Olympic swimming events—for both individual and relay races—are breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke and front crawl; the front crawl is predominantly used in freestyle races, and as such the term freestyle is often used as a synonym for front crawl.
