The Breaststroke is the oldest stroke used in competitive swimming. In this swimming style the swimmer is on their chest and the torso does not rotate. It is the most popular recreational style due to the swimmer's head being out of the water a large portion of the time, and that it can be swum comfortably at slow speeds.
