Backstroke is just 'estilo espalda'. 'Breastroke' in my country is called 'estilo pecho', but I think it's also called 'braza'. Freestyle = estilo libre Underwater = sí, debajo del agua. XD Lap = vuelta. Length = largo Lane is completely escaping me at the moment. Butterfly is mariposa, for what it's worth. Yard... is yarda. It sounds the same way, but with an a like in car at the end. (Like in darling?) I can't help you with anything else - or the pronunciation.
Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I've got the speaking part down, so pronunciation isn't an issue. It's just since I haven't really spoken Spanish for two years (except for that time at the community center when I said beer and meant cherries) that I'm sort of losing my vocabulary, and I never had any swimming related vocab to begin with!
Oh, also, kickboard is patinete, and I think patalear is to kick in this context (el pataleo is flutter kick (or a temper tantrum XD), which I assume is the kind of straight kicks you're going for). Reach is alcanzar (el alcance as a noun). The only thing I can come up with for drill would be ejercicio, assuming I'm not misunderstanding your meaning. :\
