Other than it being "slow", what is with all the breaststroke haters? Just curious because I happen to think it's a beautifully powerful stroke.

  • You are the type of swimmer I try to give a swift kick as a pass you by doing the *** stroke.:duel: There has never been a documented case of a breaststroker passing anyone in a pool, other than a noodler. All this is a bit tongue in cheek. I swam with an Olympic Trials breaststroker form Auburn and there is an Olympian breastroker at our pool and they are pretty incredible swimmers.
