I'm still working on my Breaststroke, and have improved greatly from USMS forum feedback on a video of me several months ago. I have a new one, this time taken underwater. I'm going about 80-85% speed, taken at the end of a long practice.
I'm swimming a 1:13-1:14 100YDs, and a :32-:33 50YDs, but have goals of a 1:10 and/or a :30, and think I should be able to get there.
I noted that my head raises too soon in the breakout, and I wonder about having too deep of an angle in the pullout. Any and all feedback would be very welcome - I greatly appreciate and try to apply the advice I get here!!
I agree with ddunbar. You got that breakout wrong. When you pull back your arms, you should be changing your angle towards the surface. This helps maintain speed. It seems you are trying to maintain depth during the pull. Your head should be very close to the surface when you bring your arms through and take your first kick.
Otherwise the stroke looks very descent to me.
