Why are most of us good at certain strokes and not others? Is it genetics, body type, coaching, preference?
And why are some of us good at long axis, but not short axis? And vice versa?
Or why are we good at one short axis stroke, but not the other?

But Tom Jager was once a nationals qualifier in the mile. So he had distance talent at some point in his life. I'm sure it helped his 100s.
Good point. Don't you think as he excelled in sprints, that he said forget the mile I am a 50 guy! I know I would and isn't that kind of your credo per your posts on Arizona Masters? Believe me, I am envious, I wish I could sprint. It looks like a lot more fun than swimming the 400 IM.
