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 ...

In Europe breaststroke is the first stroke taught, they seem to love the stroke more.
I still have visions of practice in Paris, where the women swim breaststroke topless:applaud:
Another vision of a swim meet where a woman got in, swam with her hair made up, and never got her hair wet. Amazing swim.
I am like Allen, when swimming *** correctly it is so niiiice. And breaststrokers love that quiet time during the underwater pulldown. Just you and the water, trying to go as far and as long as possible.
Remember, using todays rules you can truly pull, kick and glide, each and every stroke.
