Calling all breaststroke gurus ... Can anyone explain what "hinging" is in breaststroke? I've heard the reference, but don't really know what it is or how to do it.
Also, do any you use paddles in BR for fast scull drills or anything else?
Thanks.

I tried this "hinging" thing out today. Should have been doing this awhile ago, I think. I've been swimming BR with my arms and legs and not my core. :doh: I was using my arms to pull up to breath without pushing my hips down. Breaststroke is so technically difficult. I am definitely not one of those "born" breaststrokers. I could definitely use a breaststroke clinic.
