What's your breaststroke type?

Just curious of what type of breaststroke most people here swim? Which one of these three : conventional (flat), wave, or undulating (i.e. the very flexible Amanda Beard) you guys found most efficient and comfortable to swim? I found myself swim a combination of wave and undulating. Just wonder what you all think of these different types of breaststroke. :agree:

  • My ideal breaststroke type is 6' 4" tall about 200 pounds, brown hair... oh sorry. That's not what you meant, huh? Seriously though I wish I had never tried to switch. I went from flat (doing 1:09s/100) to trying to do the wave. Now my stroke is an ugly, slow, discombobulated combination of the two, and I'm lucky if I can go 1:15! I just want my old stroke back :( When I did do it right, sniff sniff, it was all about the legs for me. Sigh, the good old days. What is the saying? The older I get, the faster I was :thhbbb: Backstroke is nice!
