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 ...
Really how many adults are there on this forum???:joker: :joker:
You gotta act and think young to feel and stay young. I was worried for awhile that one certain adult had left us, but I see he's back in screamingly funny childlike form. :joker: :joker: :wave: :wave:

You looked like a natual backstroker in that video you showed us of your 50 free. How can you be so tall and not be at least decent at back? I thought tall breaststrokers were very yesterday.

I'm not sure about that "born to be thing" either. I started out a backstroker, switched to fly/IM, now back to backstroke. ... used to swim everything, now I just sprint. All over the map. The only constant is no breaststroke. And I was also not born to butterstruggle. Once the fly stroke falls apart, swimming fly is about as helpful as getting drunk at practice.
What if there is a mind - body disconnect? You are one thing but you want to be something else?
