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?

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!

His kick is a hair late. The arm extension should take place at the same time the kick is finishing.
Actually, looking at it again, I think his timing is OK. Something about the kick is bugging me though. Maybe it is the lack of an insweep combined with a weak kick. It doesn't look like he has much of a glide at the end of each stroke.
