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.

Ande speaks the truth. Breaststroke is funny. I have a good friend who is a runner but swims twice a week so he can do tris. We were talking about our swimming workouts one day. I do *** a lot and push myself. I am "OK" at it, but certainly not great. But I get much more of a workout when I do some *** with my free. He was surprised - he thought *** was easy and that he uses it as a way to catch his breath. Of course, he does the "head above the water at all times, no pull-down, gentle kick" style of breaststroke!:eek:
