It turned out that there were some things about my freestyle that I needed to change, and once I did, it became the faster stroke. If you backstroke is faster than your freestyle, you&#39;re probably doing something wrong. You should really time it to see, because feelings can be misleading. Most of the time, when I feel like I&#39;m going really fast, I&#39;m going slow as hell, but when I feel like I&#39;m going slow, I&#39;m going fast.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
