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!!
I have to get to a meeting so I'll say more later,but the big thing is your kick recovery is REALLY slowing you down.You bend at the hips and you have your knees outside your feet.Recover your feet by only bending your knees,keep your knees about 8" apart on the recovery,turn your ankles out just before the kick and then kick straight back(your feet will follow a curved course because they are outside your knees.)
