breaststrokes
Frog-like swimming motions
Breaststrokes is the plural of breaststroke, a swimming stroke performed face-down with arms pushing forward then sweeping outward while legs perform a frog kick.
Among competitive strokes, it's the slowest but requires precise timing: She swam two breaststrokes before switching to freestyle.
The term can refer to individual stroke cycles or races in that style.
