No it isn't. I learned *** stroke in the 70's and never swam competitively,so it was pretty basic.
Learning *** as a survival stroke or in a non-competitive pollywog class is entirely different from doing it for years and years in a competitive team environment.
Obviously, I was using some hyperbole but the change to today's modern *** does take a good bit of tinkering from the old days to perfect.
It's still a lame stroke, done by lame people in lame events only intended to give real swimmers rest between the real stroke events.
