Of all strokes, I think breaststroke is the one that ones physiology plays the most significant role. The right kind of legs, knees, ankles, etc. When I first started swimming, I thought I'd be a breaststroker, but had difficulty keeping up. But I'd kill it on free. Only took about a week to figure that out. My brother and sister also stunk at ***, although not quite as bad as me, but were decent in the other strokes. My brother and sister's kids swim, and *** is by far their weakest stroke. We still joke about that missing breaststroke gene in our family. I got that freestyle gene though.
