Breaststroke Kick and long legs

Does it help to have long legs? Is it a hinderance? Does it make any difference? I keep wanting to revert into a whip kick. :rolleyes: this one is gonna take a while. Oh, yea, even when I do get the motion right, there is hardly any propulsion. I get much more out of a whip kick. I think I'm still missing a muscle or two to pull it off. It's so frustrating when something doesn't sink in. I know, I know, keep practicing and experimenting... and just like everything else, one day it will click. Yeah, I'm very sore today. I suppose that means, I'll be growing muscle where I need it.

    I think from books that I read some coaches try to get a dolphin-like rhythm in the breaststroke. Drills on sometimes done with *** pull with fly kick. Then the person puts this rhythm with *** kicking. Maybe, her coach is doing something else. Anyway, the more historical kick was a little more wider and didn't have a fly like rhythm to it.
