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 ...

But Fortress, I was being kind when I said you were swimming low in the water; I really meant plowing through the water (oops, did I say that?). But I am with you on distance in a pool, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and there are no pretty fish to see (Sharks?). And in the ocean, there is only one length to worry about, the first one for it goes on forever (LOL).
So your breastroke is pretty hot afterall, huh?
