Hi there,
Someone kindly assisted me to film my breaststroke; the video is a little shaky at some points but is better than what I could see if I filmed myself.
Over the water:

Any comments or feedback on the swim is appreciated. It's my Achilles heel right now.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this! I think your breaststroke has a lot of potential and it's great to see that you would like to share your stroke with the members of the forum. While there are a lot of points that you can work on to improve your breaststroke, you will get the biggest bang for your buck by correcting your body position after the finish of the kick. I've attached a screenshot here to demonstrate:
11416
As you can see, in the streamline position, your upper body is closer to the surface of the water, while the lower half of the body is heading towards a vertical position. Keeping your body position parallel to the surface of the water after the finish of the kick when you should be in a streamlined position, is essential to taking advantage of your kick, helping reduce drag and move continuously forward.
Good luck!
