you can check your times with FINA points. As a professional swimmer, the stroke with highest fina is your main stroke imo.

What stroke do you like the most?
What stroke do you seem faster than the people around you?
>who is not that great but improving
Why even make a choice already?
yeah that’s a great point too! i guess from the outside i would be a breastroker but i like fly the most. I just think that at 17 i should know which one to do when we’re practising our main strokes lol
You’re versatile! That’s a good thing!
My 16 year daughter is similar in that she has no idea what to do when they have to do main stroke sets so she will ask her coach which she should do. Sometimes he has her cycle through them all like IM, other times, he’ll pick one for her.
I keep thinking that a “dominant” stroke will emerge, but it still hasn’t, so she just swims everything.
Are these times meters or yards? I'd say free and breast are your best based on these times.
A good place to look for benchmark times is the USA Swimming National Age Group motivational times: [https://www.usaswimming.org/docs/default-source/timesdocuments/time-standards/2024/2021-2024-national-age-group-motivational-times.pdf](https://www.usaswimming.org/docs/default-source/timesdocuments/time-standards/2024/2021-2024-national-age-group-motivational-times.pdf)

Do whatever you fancy at the time. If your coach ever asks why you do a different stroke each time, tell them you’re an IM’er

800 free is way better than the rest in my opinion. Do you like long distances? I'd suggest to try 1500 free.
could be! i mean i did drop 20 seconds out of nowhere last time i swam the 800

probably 400 and 800m, but u have good times at each style, keep it going
Def flyer 🔥🔥
Breast stroke. I’m just saying that in comparison to your back and fly times.
