Hello fellow-swimmers!
Could you please check out videos of my breaststroke. So far 50m *** is my best distance. But for the last two years I haven’t been able to break 36+ seconds limit (SC).
That’s a snippet of 50m at race speed:

I have more videos, but so far the forum allows me to add only one.
Mistakes, drills to fix them, stretching exercises?
I’m total amateur, 35 years old, it’s my 6th year of competitive swimming.
Thanks!
This is now: https://youtu.be/VgQha-SrCTM - not a lot of improvement?
Had couple competitions and I'm still there: 36+ sec. One can check a clock on me ))
My first thought was,looks pretty good,and it does.But there are a couple of things.First,I think that in a effort to recover your hands over the water you are shooting them too far up and not straight forward,slightly increasing drag.Second,as you begin the catch on your pull,you are moving your hand out to the side to anchor the catch.While that is how many of us were taught,it is non-propulsive and breaks streamline.Try making your catch more downward immediately.
How much AFAP BR are you swimming in workout? It may be that you are doing too much slower pace swimming for you to optimize your sprinting.
