I learn the four strokes as a kid. But what is it like for you that learned it as adults. I was amazed that some adults are like age groupers better at some strokes than others.

Well, as a kid I didn't have anymore problem learning the free than the ***. And as an adult it took about a month to develop the sidebreathing in free and the kick in breaststroke again. As for fly it took a lot longer because I didn't swim as much of it and I didn't start working out 2,000 workouts 3 to 4 days a day until last year again to built conditioning. And as a kid I had a fair fly. My best time then was 1:05.8. in a 100 yards. Recently in a workout I did a 1:47 fly and a *** a 1:43 and a 1:33 free. Now, the back I did a 1:56. I swam a 200 meter free at 1:34 at the 100 meter mark and I swam a 1:43.31 *** in a long course meet,so I do swim faster at meets. The workout times were yards. As an adult the *** is the best. The free is second and the fly is in third now and the back is behind the pack
