favourite stroke...

What's your favourite stroke and why?

Mine is definately breastroke because i can't do any of the other strokes!!!
I can't swim in a straight line in backstroke, I never keep to a breathing pattern in freestyle and i die after any more than 100m of fly!

Breaststroke and free

[ktcute]

I love the breastroke, but how I feel about it varies with how I'm swimming, and what I'm trying to do.

If I want to swim a long way, or very fast over very short distances, I tend to go with front crawl. My backstroke isn't anything to write home about these days... (lack of practise, and its changed a bit!) but I still tend to like it for middle distances (I get to breathe that way).

Despite my title, I love butterfly too. However I've not been fit enough or strong enough to give a good go. Last time I tried it in training I pulled a muscle after 3 strokes and had to leave the session *_*.

My favourite stroke is front crawl, but i don't mind fly when it comes to no1 form stroke. As for the other 2, i am pants!! I really can't do back, i only go any where if i really kick my legs and breast, well i have a sore knee so havn't done the full stroke in ages cause i have to do fly kick!

my fav stroke is breaststroke but i also like IM. I don't know y i like it that is a good question.

We can't forget the classic Doggie paddle, now can we?

[DangerMouse]

i enjoy swimming IM, fly depending on what mood i'm in!

[emma.g]

I like freestyle and backstroke but apparently my fly's getting good! No comment on my breaststroke, how do people manage it?!

[super_fish88]

Breastsroke's brilliant! :rainbow:

I don't see how people can actually swim backstroke!

[Pete]

With Breaststrokers it is in the feet. They tend to have a stance with feet turned out. Take a look at the swimmers in your squad. I can think of one or two swimmers already.

[emma.g]

Ive never been able to swim breastroke properly. My arm action is good but i cant do the kick well! Pete who were you thinking of??

[Pete]

Emma look at the feet of Breaststrokers.:eek: They tend to have a stance with feet turned out. Look at the swimmers in your squad; I can think of a couple already. Try not to make it obvious you are looking at their feet though they might get the wrong idea.;)

[Katie]

I can't do breastroke either emma! My IM's ok for the 1st two, and then we get 2 the breastroke.. ARGH!!!!!!

[swimmer]

I'm a breaststroker, but my feet aren't turned out!!!

[nsswimmer]

my feet are turned in, hence, i suuuuck at breaststroke :D unfortunately, it sucks for me in IM cuz i'm always ahead in fly and back and then in breast, i get dead LAST. drives me nuts.

my coaches used to put me in 200 breast to get a laugh.. xP and then i'd see their faces while i was "racing" and start to laugh myself.. hahaha g double o d times :D
