Okay, who does an old-style breaststroke kick and who does the "whip kick"? I still do the old "in-out and around" that I was taught as a six and under. I would love to try to perfect the whip, but will it really make a difference?
Definitely whip kick.The out ,back and end kick is just slower,a lot slower.I see people all the time who are fairly fast with significant stroke flaws,that doesn't make it right.A good drill for you might be swimming breaststroke with a pull buoy between your knees.
Definitely agree with the drill, Allen. As a side note, another good breaststroke drill, if you're getting too much head action, is holding a tennis ball under your chin.
