Breastroke doesn't give me any problems. I think I did fair in breastroke compared to backstroke is that the first team I was as a kid, I had a coach that emphasis the glide. For beginning breastrokers doing a glide frog kick until you get use to breastroke probably helps, then go to a whip kick. Backstroke gives me problems because I'm one of those doesn't have any idea where the wall is and as a kid my backstoke became even slower than my breastroke because I mainly practice the other three strokes expect when working out on Im and when we did some backstroke sets. Breastroke main injuries are the knee and the groin while the other three strokes cause swimmers shoulder problems. In fact I think all teams should do some breastroke to help avoid the swimmer shoulder problems with freestyle or backstroke or butterfly. I even workout on backstroke which is my worst stroke in order to use different muscle groups.
