Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/捷泳 vs 爬泳
(swimming) the crawl (front crawl stroke) · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 捷泳; on the Mainland it is 爬泳 - both point at “(swimming) the crawl (front crawl stroke)”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 捷泳、爬泳 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
