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.

Coach thinks I could probably go low 1:20 on fly if I raced it. *** took me FOREVER to learn. I could not get the timing down, it was so maddening. I think I overthought it, because now it is getting a lot better. That 1:37 is a time taken over a year ago, so who knows where I am now.
I timed a 200 fly at 3:30, which is slow, but just finishing that one is good.
I spend a lot of time at swim meets for my kids, watching swimmers. If you know what to look for, you can learn a lot! I also ask their coaches lots of questions to get tips on my own swimming. They are always very generous with their help.
