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:
Ed Moses definitely didn't swim flat. I have a wave style, albeit a very crappy up and down wave style ... In theory I should be undulating more being that I am a younger, flexible, strong female, but that doesn't seem to happen for me ...
I have no excuse either other than my body and mind do not agree on what to do on breaststroke ... no kick and a crappy pull ... :frustrated: :frustrated:
Question though for Jeff/Allen/Wayne/other breaststroke experts ... what muscles/body parts need to be flexible to swim ala Amanda Beard or Jessica Hardy? Mostly hips/back? Knees? Shoulders? Everything?
Maybe I'll try some tonight ... :dunno:
