Skills
We are all born with specific traits that make us more likely to become distance swimmers, sprinters or middle distance. This depends, among other things, on the composition of the muscles fibers types in your body. Some of those fibers can be adapted with training and some remain the same.
It is important to note that for younger swimmers it is very difficult to know if they will be sprinters or distance swimmers, or even if they will be better at butterfly or backstroke.
Different types of strength, or strength attributes, develop at different rates and times, and coaches need to understand all of them to train them effectively.
For young swimmers (around 14 years or younger) it is better to focus on technique and fundamentals of every stroke of swimming and develop a plan suitable to the different stages of the developmental pathway. USA swimming even recommends these young athletes to practice other sports. (Link 5)

From my experience, I believe that the breaststroke pull is bad to the lower back causes pain with excessive training, while it's kick is bad to the knee It's not natural to move the legs like that it causes knee pain.
The flutter & dolphin kicks are more natural, and harmless.
What do you think about that?

While the editing was a bit cheesy. the concept of viscosity and allowing that to anchor your hand makes a lot of sense. It also explains why I feel pressure in your muscles when I get a good anchor.
