I was a breast stroker. My issues are knee related.

I'd have the Medley relay where I'd go all out on breast, then I'd sit forever and have to get in to rewarm up prior to 100 fly (using it to warm up) for my real race of 100 breast.

My breast time broke a minute. I NEVER got my free below a minute. That is ridiculous.

oh meeee tooooo. That was my race. I got my free below a min my last year I swam year round. I was burned out and my fave coach left the team. I just didn't want to do it anymore.

Wow. That’s impressive for breast stroke. I bet your knees are all bad. I forgot breast stroke’s impact on knees. I have a disorder that causes hyper flexion, subluxed joints. It both helped and hurt me in swimming bc my shoulders could click in and out of socket without much pain. But breaststroke always always hurt my inner knees and made them feel very compromised, for lack of better word.

In the 70's, the best looking girl at Greenville H.S. (Texas) was on the swim team. I had a shite job at Church's Chicken (and I did not go to Greenville HS) in Greenville and this girl would come in. We were smitten (and she was way out of our league). She was very cool.

She ended up going to New Orleans and marrying some "tough customer." Her appearance at Church's was a rare treat to a bunch of h.s. nerds.
