Hello all of you,
this is my first post here and I wanted some help. The problem is that I can't properly swim the front crawl. I can just a little bit, but I get tired too quickly, I move really slow and I don't know how to properly breathe during front crawl.
But I can swim the back crawl good enough in my opinion and I prefer the back crawl to front crawl much more. But it seems to me that only women swim the back crawl (I'm a 16-year old boy). And is it a shame that I can only swim the back crawl and not front crawl. And because I can't swim the front crawl, I don't want to go to the beach in summer to swim and don't want to go to the swimming pools in winter. My mother always kinda bullies me if I say that I don't want to go to the beach or swimming pools by saying that I can't swim.
Agree about the lessons--nothing like hands-on instruction. If you feel self-conscious being in a class, you might want to look into a few private lessons.
As for backstroke being just for women, Ryan Lochte, gold medalist in Beijing in the 200 backstroke, would take issue with that.
That said, why not invest some time/money into lessons so you can learn the stroke you really want to master.
Good luck!
