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?
Now long v short axis body types...I think that's a myth. Simply put: there is the perfection of a Breaststroker's physique, and then the rest of you.../quote]
George: You and SwimStud can call it the crawl. That terminology just makes my skin crawl.
And I don't know if long vs. short is a myth. There was a thread correlating body types and stroke that seemed relatively accurate. There are always many exceptions to any stereotype ... or else I would not be doing sprint free. Not sure I've really embraced that yet. I'm just not tall and skinny like my "twin."
