Per my reference in the "Mystery of Breaststroke" forum (forums.usms.org/showpost.php,
Who has seen themselves swim? Who regularly uses a videocamera? Do you use for meets or practice or both? Who critiques - yourself, coach, teammates, no-one?:groovy:

actually, I think fixing the legs will help with the body wiggle...and there is a great Zen saying, "if not now, when?" ;)
I stayed for the open swim after workout today and did some extra kick work - just swimming hundreds with an easy pull and hard kick. Kick boards sometimes bother my shoulders and by keeping the whole stroke it is easier to breath.
Looking at the video of the final 50 I posted I saw that even when I pick up the kicking it doesn't look steady. I concentrated on a steady kick and more from the hips tonight. I'm not usually as aware of "what's going on back there" as I am of my pull. Although I guess I wasn't that aware of how I was pulling either...:eek:
Let me know if you have specific suggestions for the kick.
