Michael Phelps swimming breaststroke at the 2008 Missouri Grand Prix.. Breaststroke is a swimming style in which the swimmer is on their chest and the torso does not rotate.

[ 1 ] In competitive breaststroke swimming, a single dolphin kick is allowed before the breaststroke pullout at the start and each turn, and it must be performed ...
