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 learned breaststroke easily(in spite of the swim instructors trying to teach me wrong.)I failed my Boy Scout Swimming Merit Badge the first time for swimming side stroke with whip kick(the fact it was easier and faster meant nothing to them.)I love breaststroke,but I am still working to get it better and expect to always do so(I suspect that is the way with any stroke one loves.)
