Question 5 of 5:
Which is considered as the oldest stroke in this sport?
The answer is- Breadstroke
Swimming is an individual or team racing sport that requires the use of one's entire body to move through water. Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports, with varied distance events in butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and individual medley.
Breaststroke is a swimming style in which 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. The stroke itself is the slowest of any competitive strokes and is thought to be the oldest of all swimming strokes.
