[@kingofthenerds7925]

Yes butterfly is best

[@mela1398]

The easiest stroke is *BReaSTrokE*
ME:WHAT I CAN BARLEY SWIM FAST WITH BReaSTrokE

[@jjk_choi2189]

Same though 😂😂😂 I’m much faster at butterfly and freestyle

[@BusyChum]

It’s because at the start you can keep your head above the water and it’s the one that’s taught to most people first

[@starlight4086]

I love free and back. I feel like some people who do breast are just naturally a pro at it

[@danielkim411]

Breaststroke best stroke

[@Ava-zm9sw]

Taejeong Kim everything but fly is best stroke

[@lukeluke433]

[@hcr2mikolajpl103]

As someone that only has state times in breaststroke I agree.

[@ahprav9649]

Caitlin Anderson cool I am not the biggest fan of butterfly 😂

[@GregoryGranovski]

I'm a competitive swimmer, specializing in 200m I.M (Individual Medley). Sadly my season is over because I tore my ACL.

[@futuristicvisionary1075]

Gregory Granovski How did you do that?

[@GregoryGranovski]

Snowboarding

[@GregoryGranovski]

Nope doing it next year again. I mean snowboarding, not tearing my ACL

[@comiculous3859]

Not necessarily in the olympics one - two kicks has been introduced to the system.

[@bluestatemotivation1476]

Is this any age limit in swimming

[@NOMADIC-jk19]

Butterfly my best

[@hcr2mikolajpl103]

I like butterfly however I pause my pull somewhere. I am trying to never stop doing the motion.

[@jp4550]

0:54 that extra dolphin kick at the beginning was illegal and he should have been DQed and stripped of his medal.

[@hcr2mikolajpl103]

My 100 br scy is 1 min 16 sec. My technique is so bad compared to other people however I am the fastest in my group.

[@Namirkasim]
