Have you ever meet any of these folks? That in itself should answer your own question!
Other than that:
A) Its not a "stroke" it was developed as a means to get divers to the side of the pool after completing their belly flops
B) Try and walk past one coming toward you on a sidewalk and see how their duckfooted gait will most likely cause them to kick your shin or step on your foot
C) They were so envious of the "beautiful" stroke they stole the dolphin kick from it...also hoping that they would be able to finish their races before everyone had left the bar after the meet.
D) There angry people in general...I can understand however because their parents never enrolled them in gymnastics where they could have done those wonderful landings off the balance bars and their duck feet actually be of benefit...instead they got tossed in a swimming pool and got teased their whole lives because of how their feet stick out of the water on backstroke
:groovy:
That explains it then. I can't do breaststroke because I used to be a gymnast. :laugh2:
I agree with Wookiee. It's evilstroke. Plus, if you learned it in the 70s like I did, it is virtually impossible to do anything resembling modern breaststroke. And who wants to waste valuable training time learning?
