Or maybe everyone on this board continues to scare people into thinking you'll end up in hell if you swim breaststroke outside of the IM.
This is how I used to feel. But I gave it a whirl at LC zones this summer and I didn't grow horns. Mr. Stark has even persuaded me to swim the 50 *** at my next meet in SCM. So if I go to hell, it's his fault.
Glenn, thanks a lot for the post. I used the top 10 results as a benchmark to my goals. I made a correlation analysis of the 35-39 years results of 2007 with the world records of non-master swimmers. One conclusion is: the worst performance of 35-39 years masters group is breaststroke (compared to the world-class swimmers). I think masters can not tolerate to force their knees due to risk of injury.
