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?

Semantics, George! Freestyle is crawl.
Freestyle isn't crawl. It's a convenience word. Since you can do sidestroke ina freestyle race it is not crawl. Those of us who appreciate the subtlelties, or semantics as you put it, tolerate the overuse of "freestyle," but we know the truth.
A freestyle event may be most swam using crawl, but it does not name the stroke. Now go practice your eggbeaters like a good wannabe breaststroker...:thhbbb:
(For those of you trolling in black and white, I actually really like Fortress and we publicly tease each other often--it's a special relationship:kiss1:
...not that we have a "relationship" or anything...I mean we don't. That's not to say that I don't think she's cute or anything, and hypothetically would have a "relationship" ...but I strongly deny anything unhealthy about our relationship--if it was a "relationship." OK, now I've cleared that up.... )
:rofl:
