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?

Actually Fort, my love, I must disagree slightly. I think it's okay to swim tired fly. Not when you stroke is completely falling apart but when it hurts (tired muscle pain not ripping muscle pain or joint pain).
I agree, but when it breaks down to the point of butterstruggle (for me at about 75 y) then you should quit.
...it is impressive to watch when done right!:bow:
