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.

The best time in my life I swam backstroke was when I was 12 to 14. I had a coach that did a lot of it. Then I switch teams and they emphazied more freestyle swimming and since my best stroke was breaststroke and my second was butterfly, I workout on them much more than backstroke. I probably also did have poor instrucation as a kid with the Red Cross. Now as an adult I workout the most on free and ***, then butterfly and back.
