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 think Scott Spann was one of the rare indivduals that swam a 100 yard fly as fast as a 100 yard free. I use to do that in a 50 yard fly as a kid but coudn't hold it in a 100 yard where their were 2 seconds differences between my best time.
Forget both Kristen Quance and Maddy Crippin, still in the top 25 us performances in both 200 meter *** and fly. Both great Im'ers. Also, Lynn Coletta, Tracey Caulkins once held American records in the 200 meter fly. Caulkins had American records back in the late 1970's in both fly and *** and still has some of the top 25 us perforamces in those strokes.
