Breaststroke Technique Question--What to do with the Hands

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! Keith

  • First off, yay for Mini-Imspoiled for her BR victory! My 12 year old won the 50 BR this weekend too! And the 100 IM -- she can officially really kick my butt in that event now. Where did our daughters get the BR genes?! Congrats to your your Minis, Dana and Leslie. Since we seem to be bragging up our kids, my 14 yo son won the 200 fly and 400IM at the Snake River LC Summer Champs last weekend.
