breaststroke
- Never had any formal training and not swimming competitively; however, absolutely love and enjoy swimming breaststroke; I feel the glide is the key component to a correct stroke; it necessary to force oneself to wait 2 - 3 seconds with arms and legs stretched to really glide before taking the next stroke; I find that I am able to swim less strokes without losing propulsion;
