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!

Kick recovery seems very slow, and his legs/hips drop during the kick. He might benefit from the kicking drill where you stretch your arms behind you and try to touch your calves on each kick recovery. Also doing BR kick on his back, watching to ensure the knees do not break the surface.
Also it seems like the pull goes too far back. Sort of like mine tends to do :D
