Okay i've changed this post a little as Jack say's below a full bottle of wine and then posting is probably not a good idea. But an 1:15 tuebo session has cleared the crap.
So should breastroke be banned from Tri?
Would it be good riddance and force people to train and learn the most effective stroke for tri?
Or, force people from the sport.

He's rather foolishly leaking a top secret document that's supposed to be released a month from tomorrow. I suspect that in an attempt to out do everyone on the "drinking hall of shame" thread, his tongue has been loosened, and he has forgotten about the proper process for revealing this kind of info. Timing is key.
My real vote would go out to: NO, but people swimming breast stroke should start at the back of the pack! For the sake of just kicking each other instead of people wanting to pass who swim properly.
Its really starting to get at me this kind of stuff, this is supposed to be an all inclusive sport, anyone should be allowed to take part, swim breaststroke if they like, ride a mountain bike if thats all they have, next you'll be telling people that unless they do forefoot running they cannot take part.
Give it a rest please, its getting more than old.
Legitimate question asking would it work or drive people away.
I suspect we all started as breastrokers and trained up and probably still struggling to get better.
As with the sport the forum is all inclusive and why shouldn't it have a place for newbie threads, middle of the pack (what happened to him?) threads and controversial threads.
There are plenty of threads that don't interest me so i leave them alone.
So everyone Yes or No?

I intend to do my first tri this year and, although I'm learning FC and not doing too badly, it would be nice to know I can revert back to breaststroke if I get into any sort of difficulty. Banning breaststroke would, IMO, be the deathknell of the sport - for newbies, at least...
I agree with benny make them start at the back!!!
ps. no benny, the RED blood didn't make me swim any quicker..........
It would have excluded me last year - who could quite swim the full distance FC and ad to revert to BS.
Interesting poll though.
I'm sure you were just asking it innocently, and as you say there is of course a place for any kind of thread on the forum, it just annoys me that there have been quite a few of these threads recently that seem intent on labeling our sport as elitist and unwelcoming.
It might put the cat back amunge the pigeaons after the posts we have had about elitests and kit cost!
