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.

As a kid I once did a 1:16 point something in backstroke and at 15 years old I then swam it at 1:24. The breaststroke usually was between my best at 1:16.1 my best and 1:18.0. as a teenager.
