Butterfly is his favortrie stroke.
Breaststroke.
Michael Phelps's second favourite stroke is backstroke (stated in his autobiography), although he doesn't usually compete in races with it because he says he wants 'more of a challenge.'
In swimming is weakest stroke is breastroke, while his strongest are the butterfly and freestyle.
Individual Medley (abbreviated to Medley or IM) is when a swimmmer swims butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle (in that order) in the same race. So 100m medley in a 25m pool would be one length on each stroke. Official medley events incllude 100m (25m on each storke) 200m (50m on each stroke) , and 400m (100m on each stroke)individual medley (200m and 400m olympic events). 600 medley is not an event that officially exists but it would comprise of: 150m butterfly, 150m backstroke, 150m breaststroke and 150m freestly (in that order) continuosly.
Michael phelps is a olympic legend and has broken 39 world records and has 8 olympic gold medals. His body proportions: Feet:14 Height:6"4 Arm span:6"7 Bicep size:15 inches Chest size:51 inches Michael phelps has hyperextended all his joints and muscles for better flexibilty and thats how he uses less movement in stroke to gain a higher speed. But michael phelps is a born swimmer with huge hands and feet so he is a perfect swimming organism. But in 2011 fina swimming championships michael phelps lost his 200m medley and other swimming events/styles to Ryan Lochte a 6"2 american who is the worlds fastest swimmer and broke the world record which was held by michael phelps whislt wearing the banned suit (increased speed and times). So proportions mean nothing its how hard you train and dedication to the sport.
