Side stroke- energy efficient and you can do it forever. Best of all your eyes won't be in the water to see all the beasties coming to nibble on you.

Back in the day I could swim for an hour straight doing the sidestroke and back then I had almost no "bouyancy compensation". |

I started swimming very early ... one of my best friends' father said the day he met me, his son and I were both four ... I was swimming on my own and his son wouldn't let go of the side of the pool ...
... well that guy wound up swimming and playing water polo in college, I did not ...
... but still swam quite regularly, almost daily in a local pool ... up to about a year ago when i got a condition called frozen shoulder which I cannot lift my arms above my head ... doctor said it was not likely that I would swim again ... although I could with severe pain ...
... hopefully stretching will help break the frozen shoulder so I could swim again ... that said, I guess my answer at the moment is "No."
... but hoping to change that ...
