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 said nothing of your legs my dear.
I was strickly speaking of the skinny distance runner, all 100 pounds of them.
Not a pretty sight in a kilt.
Having competed for a long time, there were more than a few times when just the pure physical look of another breaststroker in my heat had me wondering how could I beat something with legs better than Greek gods.
Fortunately we are not in pose offs but get to race in the water.:groovy:
John Moffat tried pro bicycling after college, his legs were bigger than tree trunks.
