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 ...

I aged up this year. While looking through my LMSC's SCM records, I discovered that there is one open record in my age group: the 200 ***. Now, I am a slow swimmer and normally would have no chance whatsoever of setting an LMSC record. But I can't go wrong here! All I have to do is finish the race without getting DQ'd, and the record is MINE! ALL MINE! BWAHAHAHAHA!
We have two SCM meets coming up, so I have plenty of opportunity. As long as no one else in my age group swims it.
