Hi all, I'm new back into swimming after taking the last 14 or so years "off". When I was last swimming, the wave style breaststroke was really just coming into its own and I never fully got it down. I'm trying to train it now but I have a question--are people still pulling their hands out of the water with each stroke? These seems like a terrible waste of effort if you're just going to push back down into a streamline... Thanks for your thoughts!

You can on the recovery. From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like many people are bringing their arms all the way out of the water. What does seem to be happening is that a combination of the position of the arms and the lunge creates a situation in which the arms are above the water, and then as a resulting of lunging forward/down the arms naturally start to go under the water about halfway through the recovery. SCY said though, Jeff Commings is the true guru
