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?

I've seen Leslie Breaststroke..and she got all defensive and said it was just warming down... I dunno I think she's in training for a shock 200 BR attempt.
You haven't gotten the PMs with PDFs of my times when 13! And at zones I was just warming down after doing some sprints off the blocks to practice, duh, starts ... Apparently, it is good to practice them. I'm glad you're not defensive about backstoke. ;) I might try another masters 50 *** if I could get a cool t-shirt (and it didn't interfere with something really important.)
Don't get me all PO'd now. I don't want to get up and give a speech. Besides, you're a sprinter too! :thhbbb:

Now, I do that breaststroke arms with a dolphin kick thing. But I don't think that's legal at meets for some odd reason. Just practice.
