IN YOUR OPINION ;) For example crawl: + speed - hard to learn breathing technique Thank you so much in advance!
  • Breaststroke:beautiful,graceful,tiring if done right,really need to have extreme(freakish) ability to externally rotate your ankles to do it well.

    Backstroke Pro - Your head is not under the water. No more worrying about messing up technique when taking a breath, timing flip turns, breathing to opposite sides, ect. as in freestyle. Con - Your head is under the water for 15 meters of a 25 yard lap. Or as long as you can last before you decide to start swimming backstroke. Thank goodness my coaches never picked up that way of "hypoxic training."
