Why is breaststroke so hard?

Former Member over 19 years ago

When I swim *** stroke and stick to proper technique, I get much more winded then when I swim Freestyle or Backstroke (but not as winded as when I swim butterfly). In fact, I don't even know if I could finish a 200 yd *** stroke race. Why is this?

I think it is because there is so much power in the kick and since the leg muscles are so much larger, they need more oxygen.
