Just started practicing breaststroke and already have a bunch of questions. One - is your head supposed to be in one position only at all times, i.e. looking down or do you kinda raise it a bit when about to break the surface when finishing the pull-out and then lowering your chin again to look down when submerging again?I noticed after watching some videos that there is some slight movement of the head.Or am I wrong? Two - how deep is it best to be when doing the underwater part(streamline part) of the breaststroke(not start or turns). Three - what is the optimal stroke count for breaststroke for, say, 25-meter pool(I am 6'1'') And finally - how is it best to train the breaststroke kick(sample drills would be appreciated) Sorry if that is too many questions at once. Thanks.
