In several threads folks have hinted that flyers make good breaststrokers and vice versa. What makes you say that? And, can you name some great well known flyers who are also great breaststrokers?

    I cannot name any swimmers who are great at fly and ***. I have mentioned how you can use similar drills for fly and ***. They are both short-axis strokes and good short-axis body pulsing, which is needed in fly can be used in *** to help to get the undulation needed for the Wave style of breaststroke. Natural Breaststrokers have such "weird" feet, can they keep them together to do the fly kick ?? Just joking as i feel inferior. I can swim every stroke well but i can't do the breaststroke kick. Due to tight range of motion, sideways on hips, knees and ankles, exactly where you need to be loose for the *** kick.
