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!!

All the feedback is exactly what I needed. I think I understand most of it. I can see it when I watch myself.
I'm still struggling to reconcile some of feedback on my kick. If I understand rightly, my kick itself needs to start wider, but on the recovery I need to bend with my knees (not hips) and bring my knees closer and bring my feet up narrower (hiding behind my body with less drag). Wider out - narrower back. If someone can confirm or clarify this I'd appreciate it greatly!
I'm loving the stroke, and will bring another video back after several months of trying to apply all of this - thanks everyone!
