First 200 Breaststroke in 5 years: Please critique?

I'll not talk about your pull as I think it is probably as good as you can physically do. I like your timing. Your underwaters are pretty good in terms of timing, actually maybe better than the last video. The actual turn is not smooth. You get to the wall and seem to hesitate an instant. Maybe you are grabbing the gutter instead of just pushing off with your left hand. Your kick is very narrow, which can be good for some, but you are not getting your feet turned out well to maximize the propulsive surface. You used to be able to turn them out more. Turning them out more maybe something you can do with stretching and concentration. If not I'd recommend having the knees slightly wider at the beginning of the kick On recovering your arms your hands are fairly low in your streamlined position. This may be a flexibility issue, but see if you can have the arms angled less down. Do you have much opportunity to work on starts? You hit relatively flat. I can't be sure if that is a one time issue or not. If you can practice starts work on a steeper entry or aim to enter closer to the block. Your body should go through one hole. As you got more tired you shortened your kick. You don't really want to touch your feet to your butt on the recovery in a race, but you should try in practice. I saw an interview with Adam Peaty where they said "you only seem to recover your feet half way, is that faster for you" and he replied "they have some ultraslow video of me and I am recovering them pretty high.

Good job and keep swimming breaststroke

Thanks, King Frog!  I appreciate your feedback!  Regarding the turn, you are right; I notice the same thing.  I think I'm just not snapping my hips fast enough, so it's taking too long to get my legs up to the wall.  I need to work more on that.  I haven't been training much breaststroke over the last couple of years, so my turns have gotten slower, and what used to be a good kick has fallen apart a bit.  Somewhere along the line, I started kicking narrower, too, so I will work on circling my feet out more.  I have excellent flexibility throughout my body from doing yoga over the past seven years, so it's just a matter of execution.  The same with my arm recovery.  I just need to think more about keeping my arms up, because I have the flexibility to do it.

As for starts, I train in a 5-foot deep pool with no blocks, so I am unable to practice starts.  My starts are quite inconsistent because of it!  In trying not to go too deep in order to have a good breakout on my first stroke, I went too shallow on both my breaststroke races.  Here's my 50 race:

Thanks for giving me some guidance on what to work on for next time.  I will keep plugging away!
