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 ...

Just had a sick thought, perhaps backstrokers can get their feet to point outwards by the technique in the movie Misery?
My grand daughter between 6 months and 18 months loved to amuze everyone by totally rotating her feet in circles, she could clap the soles of her feet together like the best breaststrokers. I can't wait to coach her:woot: She loves the water, like a true breaststroker you can't get her out of the tub. Did I mention her feet, huge feet perfect for breaststroke.
Whp says breaststrokers are not born:drink:
