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:

Don't know what Terry would say. He seems like he does a lot of decomposing and then rebuilding. I tend to do discrete drills that focus on what my current preoccupation is.
If you're thinking about hand placement and rotation, I would do the skate drill, the underswitch and zipper switch drills, and the rotating balance drills. They should be in your book or on his website? Fingertip drag drill is also good for the dropped elbow problem. I also love catch-up freetyle. Solar would probably recommend some sculling for the kinesthetic awareness issue. There were a lot of sculling drills in the last issue of USMS Swim. I'm sure others would have many more ideas.
Keep working on the SDKs. That's a good idea. Just pick a number to do off each turn, whatever you're comfortable with, and then do it every time. Good luck. I think when one's so keen to improve like you, they usually do.
