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 love my breaststroke fins! It is not my strongest stroke, so I got them hoping to improve my kick. They really force you to kick correctly. I lent them to some of the BS kids on the team and they called them "turbo jets".
Dana:
If you call it BS, it makes it hard for us anti-evilstrokers to disagree that's it BS!
I tried out Mini-Fort's little BR fins today. I liked them too! I actually did an entire set of 10 x 50 BR -- a minor miracle for me. I think it helped my kick. It forced me to narrow the kick substantially and helped me concentrate on the forward lunge. I still need the BR clinic though.
BTW, on the BS thing, one of Mini-Fort's friends, a buddy in NY she sees at all the zones meets, qualified for the Olympic Trials last weekend in the 200 BR. She's freakin' 12. Went a 2:34 in the 200 meter BR. Holy shi-it.
