The latest threads clearly reveal that the vast majority of masters swimmers wish breaststroke did not exist (except Peter, Allen, Aquafeisty, and a possiblely experimenting SCY freestyler). So why does everyone hate breaststroke? :mad:
I'll go first. I hated it when I was young because it was too slow, I never learned how to do it right, and I never learned the wave action because it didn't exist when I was young. I can't seem do get the timing right now. And I have no excuse. Unlike my shoulder, my knees are fully intact. Not sure I have the gumption or time to put in 100,000 yards for a complete overhaul on a stroke I don't swim in meets. But I'd like to be able to fake it in IMs ...
Several have said the don't like the feeling of swimming breaststroke because it's so slow,but when my stroke is flowing it is one of the best feelings in the world.
Allen, I agree! I am a 200 *** stroker and have been since I was about 11 years old. The kick comes naturally to me as well. But being a ballerina until I was 30 years old (about 6 years ago) probabbly helped with that.
