He's the world-record holder in the two events that include all four strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. And he's world class in three of the four strokes individually.
What makes Phelps so good? ESPN.com asked his coach, Bob Bowman, to break him down by each discipline.
Butterfly
Phelps owns the five fastest times in history in the 200 fly and five of the top 10 in the 100. Yet he's done it by breaking one of the long-standing butterfly tenets: He breathes every stroke, barely lifting his chin above surface level. For years, coaches drilled their butterfliers to breathe every two or three strokes."
