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).

When first starting swimming (decades ago) I always did breaststroke, and it's still the most enjoyable stroke to do. But long ago I realized that I became a much better swimmer all around when I worked to improve my crawl stroke. So now I do about 4 or 5 lengths of crawl for every 1 length of breaststroke. ; Crawl gives me a feeling of accomplishment, and more of a 'rush' when complete. Breaststroke is now more of a cool-down, relaxation type of activity.
