I took some video of a friend including this clip of his breaststroke. Unfortunately I don't swim it much myself and haven't studied it much or sought out good videos with model strokes. Could one of you breaststroke experts comment on his stroke?
www.youtube.com/watchwww.youtube.com/watch (same video slow motion)
Also, do you know of any good youtube videos that show good breaststroke relatively close up? Most of the race videos are taken from too great a distance to see a lot of detail.
Thanks!

Well the major thing I see is his insweep on his pull is very weak. In way breastroke pull is like butterfly. You sweep your hands and arms forward then out to a set position somehwat similiar to fly. At that point you sweep out, down, and insweep up the chest. It is a very powerful insweep move.
