Breastroke head placement advice

I have used the "Kaizen's" head down, lengthening and rolling technique on working out my crawl and it's coming along. Breasstroke I am not too bad on...and I just want to finesse my technique and such. What tips do you all have for breaststokers like me? I lengthen and glide smoothly and can move along quite fast while really swimming slowly. I am mostly curious about breathing as the undulations of breaststroke work the traps and neck a bit. I am trying to get my head face down on my glide, for streamlining etc. Just trying to see what others have to say about their breaststroke breathing. Rich

    Interesting stuff... I have tried both lifiting my neck and using the sweep to get up to breathe...I'll pay a bit of attention next workout. I do notice fatigue in the neck and traps if I use lift...as you would expect. It is that which had me questioning to begin with.
