All this back and forth between the breaststrokers and the freestylers (in particular) is all just in fun, right? I realize everyone has their favorite stroke (well, except for the IMers). I can't really swim anything other than freestyle, but I do enjoy the occasional bit of breaststroke (as long as I'm not in a big hurry and my knees are feeling okay). I think it allows me to concentrate on the catch fairly well which should help my freestyle, especially because I can actually watch what my hands and forearms are doing, not just guess based on "feel". So I guess in part I treat breastroke as a stroke drill for freestyle.
Yes? No? Maybe?

Heck no it's an all out war!!! :rofl:
Breaststroke stinks! Are you kidding?! :rofl:
And the dissing of breaststroke is not limited mainly to freestylers. There are plenty of swimmers that fall into the "anything but breaststroke please" category. Although as a former gymnast/diver, I must really urge Paul Smith to get his facts straight ...
Breaststroke is only a means to get to freestyle in an IM. :cool:
(Except for some odd reason, most of my friends and family members are breaststrokers. But they're insane anyway.)
