When I swim breaststroke, I use the outsweep and insweep type of pull. I don't focus on pulling back at all. I read it somewhere that you should also focus on pulling back. WHen I tried doing that, my hands got stuck and my timing is off. Anyone has any thoughts?
Also, how wide should you pull? I sweep out to 12-15 inches outside my shoulder width, anchor my hands, then start insweep? I am concerned it might be too wide. When I tried anchoring my hands narrower, I don't feel as powerful of an insweep.
Thanks.

Interesting.
I am still a little confused. During your insweep, you catch water with your palm and sweep in fast. In that case, wouldn't the water under your hand (in your palm) be moving faster than the water above your hand?
I guess that must be why I did not do so well in physics in HS. :)
