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?

A full whip kick can really destroy your knees. I tell my kids to bend into a W formation, slam down, slam together. I'm pretty sure I got that from breaststroke.info once upon a time ago, but I can't seem to find it anymore. It's basically a hybrid of the wedge and whip kicks. It's easier on your knees while not sacrificing really on the benefits of the whip.
