I've been swimming regularly for fun and fitness for 2-3 years now and have become reasonably proficient in freestyle and backstroke. I swim on my own--no coach or masters group.
I'd like to learn the other two strokes. Which of the two should I tackle next? My guess is that breastsroke would be easier to learn and easier on the shoulders but I'm game for either one.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Actually, I would say that butterfly is easier to learn, but it is definitely harder on the shoulders. Both strokes require a lot of energy and will help strengthen your core, which will in turn help your free and back.
I agree with etrain. TI has some good drills that will help get you into shape for both strokes and teach you the fundamental movements for each.
