Why do most masters swimmers hate breaststroke?

The Fortress
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 could be a sock model :joker: Now why didn't I think of that.I guess that is why I look good in a Kilt, you got to have strong legs to look good. Can you imagine one of those skinny runners and their anemic legs in a kilt:shakeshead: I do not have anemic runner legs. I'm just really "fickle." So I like to run and swim and swim a bunch of different strokes. If you want to be a sock model, Wayne, you will have to stop writing scholarly articles about breaststroke, get rid of that frog and put up an avatar of your "diamond" calf. You could also go vote as a "philosopher coach" on that "athlete poll" for me. I wanted to change my vote as a "stroker," but I couldn't. That poll prevented me from exercising my First Amendment right to fickleness.
