Breaststroke

Breaststroke is a swimming style characterized by a simultaneous, circular motion of the arms and a frog-like kick of the legs. Swimmers begin by pushing their arms forward and then pulling them back towards their chest while kicking their legs out and in. This stroke emphasizes a strong glide phase and is typically swum at a slower pace compared to other strokes. Breaststroke is often praised for its accessibility, as it allows swimmers to keep their head above water, making it popular in competitive swimming and recreational activities alike. It requires coordination, timing, and technique for efficiency.
