Who's doing both back and *** at masters meets? Who's good at both? Or neither? Or good at one, but not the other?
Ande thinks it's rare to be good at both. Frank thinks it's somewhat unusual, but not rare or impossible. You vote. Multiple choices permissible. Comments appreciated.
Personally, I suck at breastroke. I'm decent at back. I think they are usually mutually exclusive. Most breaststrokers I know suck at back and vice versa. Not sure if this is explained by the disparate body types that typically are associated with the stokes, or by ankle flexibility or it's just a fluke. (I have a breaststroke body type and flexible ankles and still can't do it at all. I do not have a backstroker's body type, but have hyperflexible elbows and shoulders and seem passable at it.) I clearly need a breaststroke clinic. Would be happy to go to one. Or get private lessons.
I'm actually not too good at back OR ***! I'm a fly/free girl myself! I think that is true for a lot of flyers. Unfortunately, due to shoulder problems, I can't do too much fly anymore. So.....I'm working on my back and *** as a result. I actually like them now. Sometimes its good to try something new anyways. Who says you can't teach an old dawg new tricks! :woot:

Me too Beth! Since you are Fort's twin and she is my big sister, that makes us family, too, right? I'm only good at sdk, so the 50 back is alright, I'm working on making it better, partly because it is good for my shoulder. I used to not like back (have always liked it more than *** though) but now I'm starting to like it more ...
