Time differentials between strokes

For those who swim more than one stroke, do the differences in these times seem about average? 50 yards from a push: Freestyle - :33/34 Backstroke - :37 Breaststroke - :46/47 Butterfly - :35 Any feedback is appreciated!

    Your Freestyle - :33/34 & Butterfly - :35 seem to be your best strokes, Backstroke - :37 but it should be closer to your fly time and you really need to improve your Breaststroke - :46/47 BR, it should be closer to your free time like maybe a 6, 7, or 8 sec time difference between your free and BR. Thank you for your insight :) i have received a lot of valuable feedback from so many sources here on USMS via video analysis and have incorporated it into each of my strokes. The video analysis has been incredibly useful and revealing (watching how your body jiggles underwater has been an eye opener). Although I’m not entirely sure that the improvements in technique have resulted in significant speed improvements (I think a lot of it is the drag factor from my body shape), I’ll time myself this weekend on the strokes and will report back.
