Recently, I've been trying to stay under water longer and SDK more. But I notice my breakouts seem to be pretty sub-par on all strokes (especially *** where I practically come to a dead halt). Any tips for better breakouts on the start and turns? Also, on backstroke, when do you begin the transition from SDK-ing to flutter kicking before you surface?

I've been trying to get a shallower angle on approaching the surface and trying not to breathe on the first stroke (not so easy on turns 5, 6 and 7). Wayne's got some good articles on this and such.
I find if I come up too steep it's like hitting the brakes.
Now you can wait for the experts;)
