Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 I do the sidestroke, too. It’s easier, more efficient, and faster. I can only do it smoothly on my right side, though. On the left is awkward. Louis From: Jane Meyerding ] Finally ... a cure! AndyTiedye wrote: >I picked up the easiest strokes quickly enough, but never could get the > " crawl " .

My " best " stroke is the sidestroke, but I do a personal variant that would not be accepted by any purist. It's the way my body parts are willing to move so as to keep me afloat and moving through the water, and that's enough for me. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
