    Allen, after swimming breaststroke for 40 years, when are you going to slow down. Even with bad legs you are still very fast. I am fortunate, even with bad knees I have been able to kick a lot of breaststroke. I believe it is because I keep the muscles arround the knee joint strong by doing the correct exercises in the gym and by stretching more that most swimmers. I strongly believe in the inclined leg press, helps the kick and is at the exact angle as the start. I also do power jumps in the pool like Allen Stark recommends, great fun. Again you should go to the only web site dedicated to breaststroke, http://www.breaststroke.info I have articles on weight training and breaststroke workouts. You can't be a breaststroker by doing freestyle workouts!!!
