Hello Guys, i also need help on how i can improve my speed and technique on my 100 breasstroke. I went 1:06. 70 dropping 2 seconds from my PB

My two cents:
- your body position is excellent
- your kick is too wide, which slows down your tempo - you can only turn over as fast as your kick permits. Try to imagine a tennis ball between your knees, and focus on getting your heels up to your butt rather than your knees forward
- your outsweep is very wide. Try to get your fingertips facing down (with high elbows) a bit sooner.
- focus on keeping your elbows in front of you - don't let them get to your sides.
- your turns are slow and very shallow. Try to get your "down arm" positioned more quickly so that your "over arm" can get around quicker. Set your feet a bit deeper on the wall, and focus on the pitch of your hands in your streamline.
You have a 1:02 or faster in you.
