I finally got some video to post for feedback on my Breaststroke; (must be breaststroke video day today). Many of you have offered me breaststroke workouts advice to me on another thread, and I have also tried to follow all your related feedback to others and incorporate it. Here is my best shot:

For background, I swim a 35 second 50SCY and a 1:15 100SCY, trying to make a 32 sec 50 and a 1:10 sec 100 to qualify for Nationals in 40-44 category.
Thanks for any and all help!!

Two things that I noticed, the first is that you appear to be starting your kick a little bit too close together, forcing you to go out and then move water back. Try setting your feet so that they are about shoulder width apart and concentrate on pushing water straight back. The second one may be because of how it was videoed, but it appears your first motion on your recovery is straight down into streamline position rather than lunging forward into your streamline, which would keep your speed up much higher.
