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 ...
And you're whining about hating breaststroke? I would love to swim that time. Makes my 38 a bit pedestrian by comparison. I think I'll retract my challenge to race you in the ***. How about dog paddle?
Poolraat:
Sorry for the confusion. I was just totally teasing. That is my 12 year old swimming breaststroke and that is her time, not mine.
I just love breaststroke.:banana:
Now, I see that Muppet and Kristina are using the dolphin kick to practice the wave and timing, I will join right in. I also love the 1 pull/2 kick drill. Maybe someday breaststroke will be something other than a means to get to the freestyle in an IM. Maybe.
