And genetics 100% plays a part in his success, not saying he didn't work hard but I don't think he'd be there if he wasn't like 6'5 with a 17 meter wingspan and could palm a yoga ball.

      @@bigstronkbee :-) The majority of butterfly swimmers raise their head to the front to breathe. Phelps did. But turning the head to the side doesn't raise it out of the water as much, thus not lowering the body behind it as much, attempting to create less drag. Depends on the swimmer.
