I cannot remember who it was, but they swam breastroke in an Olympics - whilst raising their arms above the water, as in butterfly. there was not rule against this at the time, but they changed it when this happened, and butterfly became a stroke. It was most likely developed since then, as have many strokes. So yes, if you are a fly swimmer and dislike breastroke - you have to like it for one thing!
