If someone were told Butterfly and Breaststroke are short-axis strokes, how would you explain what 'short-axis' means? Trying to find a simple way to explain this phrase, but I'm coming up fairly empty.
Long axis makes sense for back and free as you really should rotate along your long axis. I think since people were really trying to emphasize the rotation this name stuck.By analogy fly and *** were called short axis,but IMHO that is a confusing description. In both *** and fly you should undulate not teeter-totter.How about long axis vs undulate(or axis of evil vs"the good ones":duel::thhbbb::rofl::dedhorse:)
