I agree but don't you mean the opposite of pigeon-toed? I've always walked a little more toward the bowlegged end of the spectrum with my toes angled slightly outward if anything. I vividly remember in Kindergarten hating having to sit "indian style" (or the newer, more PC criss-cross-applesauce). I would always shift to a position with my feet and knees outside in a 'w'. I'm sure it has something to do with hip flexors or something. I also have a bit shorter legs and longer torso, I think. Then again, I think there are anatomical advantages for every stroke.
It's been a long week. Yes, I meant the toes or feet turned outward. I do think there are anatomical advantages for each stroke. I know for sure that I don't have whatever advantage is needed for breaststroke.
OK, Justin Ritter, credit to you on a nice post. I'm having trouble disputing any of it, dang it.
Wow, I know that was hard to do Geek but I'm proud of you.
Please NO.We short axis people need to stick together against the long axis ones(the true axis of evil,especially those who didn't notice they are upside down.)
Hey, now. Even Mr. Clemmons admits that the 200 backstroke has a certain numb-footed charm.
I would have to say I like butterfly better, it is definitely a more graceful and beautiful looking stroke and the added difficulty of performing it makes me want to do it more. It goes back to the idea of always wanting what you can't have. Breaststroke just looks sloppy to me. I have finally started to get an idea of how to do breaststroke.
