Do you agree that the stroke that was the easiest (or first) for you to learn may well not be the stroke that you eventually swim the best? So which stroke was the easiest for you learn? Which do you find easiest to swim to near perfection? I learned breaststroke the first but have never worked on improving it--unlike the other strokes, it doesn't seem to be so complicated. Freestyle seems to have infinite room for improvement?

  • I am a breaststroker, but I think that for the majority, freestyle is the easiest to learn. Even through breaststroke comes easy to me, when I taught summer league swimming to the youngest age group as a high schooler, I found that the easiest stroke for me was the hardest to teach, at least to young children. I think the easiest for people to learn is freestyle.
