This refers to the long axis strokes. I know many (including myself) have better strokes on one side than the other (the latter is often the breathing side), but I wonder how predominant this case is among master swimmers. Also interesting would be whether some have been able to correct this problem through either drills or sheer hard effort.
I always thought my right side was stronger than my left side since I am right handed, but after doing a set of right arm only then left arm only and seeing the difference in the times. My left arm for a 50 is 5 seconds faster than my right arm.
I am going to work on my right side.
