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!

I felt really good about my breaststroke and then went to the 2003 OTC camp where I discovered a panoply of problems. It took 6 mo. of work before I felt comfortable with the new stroke.When I did I began swimming times I hadn't done in 9 years.I read one famous coach(I think it was Marsh) has his swimmers start from scratch every year to relearn their strokes.
