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 ...

rip on distance free swimmers, especially open water swimmers. Give me a black line on the bottom of the pool to follow or give me death!
Boo!! You're lucky David Barra isn't reading this. This thread has really taken some odd turns. Can't we get back to who has diamond calves? Maybe some breaststroke bragger wants to put their calves up as an avatar?
