I just got back into swiming over the past year or so and have enjoyed getting back into shape and learing about all of the technique improvements since I swam as a kid. My specialty was always the 200 breaststroke, and I was very pleased to find out that I could go completely under water. I was DQed for this to many times. I have also read some vague references to the kick having changed, but I do not understand how the kick has changed.
I have also read about a drill using a pull buoy, but cannot find any specific descriptions on the drill.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

You can find a good information about breaststroke and the kick here www.breaststroke.info
The drill you a probably refering to is to kick with a pullbuoy. This will force you to keep your legs closed and "in the streamline of the body" causing minimal resistance in order to not loose the pullbuoy.
An other drill which helped me alot is simply kicking on your back and making sure your knees don't break the surface. I find it to be the easiest way to learn a good kick.
