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?
Thx,

I thought Fort had made peace with her inner breaststroker,but now she calls us crazy(we are,but thats not an excuse.) I think those fast freestyles may have moved her to the darkside(long axis is the axis of evil.) Stay Good Fort,Stay Good.
I will Stay Good! No worries. (But I have NOT made peace with my inner breaststroker since I'm missing your informal clinic. But my twin has made her peace. :eek: ) My first love is still fly. And I agree with Lindsay, freestyle is principally a way to train for fly since I don't do much of that in practice right now.
