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!

Imspoiled, have you found that *** fins have improved your kick a lot? Or is it more of a regular fins effect, where you feel super fast with them on, and then once you take them off you've lost all your feel for the water and feel like you are going backwards?
I do not feel like I have lost "all feel for the water" when I take my fins off. :dedhorse:
Can't you physically and mentally factor in how you feel with and without fins? Despite a seemingly super-prevalent anti-fin bias, fins have some uses. They don't need to be eliminated as a training tool or shoulder aid. :dedhorse: I have to say, lately, with all the anti-fin rants, I'm starting to enjoy beating people who never use fins.
