I watch lap swimmers and many have difficulty learning the breastroke kick. When they swim breastroke, the kick is off. Freestyle and backstroke not nearly the same problems. Butterfly is also difficult to master. As someone who has swim both fly and breastroke, sometimes I fell that *** is harder on you than fly. And in my middle years I'm more of a breastroker. What do you think? Which one is harder?

If you are able to swim both breastroke and butterfly legally, I'd say:
Butterfly is harder to finish any given distance legally. It takes more energy even to go slowly.
BUT
if you are swimming as fast as you can, breastroke is harder over any given distance, just because it takes longer.
I'm a breastroker, of course.
Swim fast, y'all.
