Inspired by heated discussions in other threads, I decided to throw some jet fuel on the fire.

  • Breaststroke taxes me more than butterly. Perhaps this is because I have a kick that brings me to a dead stop. It is a cool stroke that I wish I could have been better at doing. I do believe, however, that there is a certain build required to be decent at it. I challenge somebody to find a swimmer good in breaststroke whose feet rolls in when they walk. Most breaststrokers I know walk almost pigeon-toed. Really? Most breaststrokers I know walk with their feet at 45 degree (or more severe) angles away from dead center.
