[@FriexMau5]

Something interesting that I noticed around 3:12 when Phelps transitions from breast to free is that he doesn't complete a breaststroke kick on his last stroke going into the wall. It is something I have seen occasionally from others, but never quite at this level. Perhaps it is to preserve momentum through that last stroke into the wall?

[@siyulater]

Very late reply but it's definitely to do with keeping the momentum he built up into the wall. If he had kicked into the wall, he would've been too close to fully extended into the wall and efficiently maintain his speed.
