Wave Breaststroke

With the exception of Liesel Jones, wave breaststroke is the popular fashion. But there are so many variations of it that you could see all eight swimmers in a heat doing it different ways.

Is the current trend still the "wave *** stroke" or is there a new technique that is taking its place? I dunno for sure but I'm only just getting to grips with the wave...sometimes I do the "frantic wave"...normally coming off the pullout on turn 7 of the BR200 :D

I definitely reccomend going to breaststroke.info to read Wayne's articles"What went wrong with the wave breaststroke" and " what went right with the wave breaststroke."

I just reviewed video of Liesel Jones. I think she does swim wave,but with a very low amplitude. She keeps her head down and recovers her feet in the "shadow of her body(little flexion at the hips on leg recovery) which I think are the most important features of modern breaststroke.

Hansen and Kitajima swim wave,enough said.

It's still the fastest form of *** I've found. Being able to use your body to move the water, definately is better than just feet and hands.
