Different Strokes

I wish you could have seen me laughing on the floor, tears stremaing down my face, while I resisted the urge to pee my pants, all because you think breaststroke is "less tiresome." Zirconium has it right. I did not say I think breastroke is less tiresome. But if you ask my wife - she says she can swim breastroke all day but freestyle kills her. She is not a Masters swimmer and has never been a competitive swimmer. I train breastroke in every workout and it is very tiring. Almost as tiring as fly. Pullouts on turns is a killer too. But I see non-competitive swimmers (casual lap swimmers) swim relaxed breastroke with their head almost above water all the time. I am a lousy backstroker so I find it very tiring too. I suppose that leaves freestyle as the only stroke that isn't very tiring.
