Speed differences among strokes

Hi, 36 years ago, I competed in butterfly and backstroke, and my breaststroke was severely slow. I've returned to swimming for about one year and now is as fast in freestyle as back then. However, my breaststroke is now faster than backstroke and butterfly is the slowest of the three. The 100m pace of my breaststroke now is faster than my 1k freestyle, which is surprisingly satisfying (for me). What does this physiologically indicate? I just look to see what are missing for swimming butterfly and backstroke. Thanks

    So your bk/fl got worse and your br/fr improved, or just bk/fl only got worse with age? Freestyle now is about as fast as 36 years ago, but I have practiced it for one year. Breaststroke is improved, without any specific practice. Bk/Fl were slower, also without serious practice.
