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 ...
Old lady stroke huh? Maybe the way YOU swim it...
:rofl:
Outside of masters meets (and practices) how often do you see any women in the 65+ age group swim fly? How often do you see them swim ***?
Yes, on Sunday I did race against women much older than me in my 50 ***, and some may have beaten me, but that's okay. I accept my faults ... and since breaststroke is sucky anyway why bother ...
Roses are red, violets are blue
breaststroke sucks and so do you! ;)
:smooch:
