Anecdata: My knee consultant specifically banned the breaststroke kick if I go swimming (but then my knee is a disaster area and pending a replacement.)
- dredmorbius 3y agoI know quite a few competitive breaststrokers who developed knee problems in their later teens, so, yeah. Flutter or dolphin kick, with or without fins ("Zoomers" are particularly useful) should be safer, and actually is a reasonably good lower-body workout, particularly in conjunction with strength training (squats & deads notably).
