Morphology
breaststroker = breaststroke (transparent) = breast + stroke + er
The word is transparently formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to 'breaststroke', meaning a person who performs that stroke.
Etymology
Breaststroker breaks into breast ('chest') + stroke ('a swimming movement') and the ending -er ('person who does it'), so it literally names a person who swims the breaststroke.
