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:
Flat. Old School.
Jeff, how hard was the transition. I asked my coach when I started Masters the first time 4 years ago and she told me not to switch. I am not back up to racing speed so to me it is a perfect time to spend time on stroke drills to switch over.
Gor Boost
I took me a year to be able to do the stroke consistently from day to day. I swam it at a meet after that year and went a best unshaved 100m ***. Too bad I swam like crap at nationals two months later.
And idguru said Ed Moses swims flat breaststroke. Not true. If your hands recover through or over the water, you swim wave breaststroke. Liesel Jones is the best example of flat breaststroke, and there are some YouTube videos of her, especially her recent world record.
