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?

And that's his worst storke. Most men breaststrokers would love to be able to go under 2:00 in the 200 yard. I think he did swim a 1:59 or 1:58 at a meet back east. But I did know a butterflyer and a breaststroker who were not that good at each others strokes. Valarie Lee who almost made the 1976 olympics in 200 meter butterfly, had a breaststroke that bordered B and A age group times which is pretty poor for an elite swimmer. Stacey P, who made nationals back in *** at 1:09in the 1970's, use to do fly and back at 1:08 and 1:09, which according to her *** time she should have been down to at least a 1:05 and 1:06.
