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 ...

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:
FlyQueen I can't see how it is ever going to work out between us if you keep taunting me so...:shakeshead:
I think you just want me to break down and beg for you to show me fly...
