https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/9649/best-stroke-meltdownHi, For the longest time, I have been a backstroker. Lately, it has become a complete mess. Training is the worst - as I swim it - it&#39;s uncomfortable, I feel out of my groove and I&#39;m just plain exhausted (I don&#39;t feel like &quot;myself&quot; when I swim it).en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/155157?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 29 Dec 2010 17:55:33 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:898dafe1-81ee-4e26-9914-3d11c31ce786Former MemberHi, For the longest time, I have been a backstroker. Lately, it has become a complete mess. Training is the worst - as I swim it - it&#39;s uncomfortable, I feel out of my groove and I&#39;m just plain exhausted (I don&#39;t feel like &quot;myself&quot; when I swim it). At a meet last month, I added 3 secs onto my 100 (I was pretty much drowning at the 75). My other strokes feel pretty darn good, which is keeping me going. I have a meet next month and I&#39;m taking a break from the back events. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Oh yea! I have the same experience with my freestyle. I still haven&#39;t figured things out, so I don&#39;t know what to tell you. One reason for my problem, I listened to many &quot;experts&quot; about my stroke instead of just listening to one or two people that I trusted.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
