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?

Thank Fort and Queen: One more question that will hopefully not spawn too many *** strokers to comment. Is there a benefit to doing the Fly?
Since you are risking your joints and admittedly use Free as a training device, does Fly help balance the muscles in the shoulder or have a beneficial stretch, add power, or coordination, anything positive, except that it is fun for those of you that can?
PS: it is impressive to watch when done right!:bow:
