I never learned how to and now when I try it makes me very dizzy and is uncomfortable to swim. So I swim *** and back stroke and I'm happy in the pool. BUT, I have been asked by an OW swimmer who why I don't try swimming an OW event. I have the endurance for maybe 1 mile(I swim 2 miles av. per workout), but I would be mortified to be the only *** stroke swimmer. So, are there any OW swimmers out there that don't swim free but still participate in events?
Waterlog, by Roger Deakin, is about swimming the length of Britain breaststroke. The book inspired the current craze (British) for wild swimming, plus another excellent book and web site with beautiful pictures.
It's good train reading, as is his Wildwood: A Journey through Trees.
