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?! Yeah mini-Fort! Breaststroke genes... I figured it was a genetic mutation, like having one brown eye and one blue eye.
