the mystery of breaststroke

It is not a stretch to say that breaststroke is about 1/3 of my IM. I know my timing if off, but my kick really stinks. I have no excuse; I have a short axis body type and strong legs from running and weights. What can I do to fix my kick? Thanks!!

  • Terry: Thanks so much. I tried Ande's suggestions today at the pool and I could feel an improvement. I definitely need to just practice the stroke and kick more rather than engage in avoidance. I've done #2. I will try #1 and #3 and let you know. I know my kick needs to be smaller. My breaststroking daughter has told me many times. How did I produce a breaststroker?! Leslie
