Breaststroke Pull

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.

  • Leisal doesn't have a"classic" flat style as she doesn't recover her legs by bending at the hips(which is a very old technique) She also take full advantage of underwater streamlining after the kick,which is also not "classic" flat style. I'd say she has a very low amplitute wave. Amand's stroke has evolved towards wave from very undulating in 1996.
