Why are some of us breaststrokers terrible at backstroke. Most of my swimming career except at around 12 to 14 years old. I'm been a terrible backstroker. Is it because breaststroke uses very different muscles. Fly has never been as bad as back but fly of course came from ***. Freestyle as a youth was the 3rd best stroke and and as an adult the 2nd best stroke. I know some breastsrokers mastered the stroke and some can't do free too good or fly.

Well, I probably did have some mediocre coaching or the lessions I was taught thru Red Cross didn't stress some right way of swimming backstroke. Also, I'm short legged and have to wear short pant lengths.
