There was some confusion over the previous poll "What is your favorite stroke?", as the word "favorite" can be interpreted many different ways. For example, someone may think it's his/her favorite because it's most graceful and likes to watch this stroke the most, but he/she may not necessarily swim this stroke.
So this is the new poll.
Please only select the stroke you PERSONALLY train and spend most time swimming (and thinking about).
swiminton,
By your own admission you've only been swimming for a short time. I've been swimming a long time and I don't claim to know everything, but I do know you're wrong :)
I don't really think the fact that I'm a distance swimmer has much to do with it. I'll wager that if you asked 100 (experienced) swimmers and coaches if they think only swimming 100-200 yards of warmup is a good idea about 99 would say no. Maybe 100.
