One thing I noticed with the more advanced breaststroke (a beard, e moses, etc) is the swimmer holding the streamline after the kick for 1-2 secs before starting the insweep on each stroke. When watching age groupers I don't see much of this. They tend to not hold their glide much at all and its a continuous reach to insweep.
Is this because the age groupers don't have a strong enough kick yet to get the most of the glide and streamline? I'd love to start having my daughters work on the right way to do the stroke at an early age.

The Hillmen Swimming Start Comparison Chart is one of the most awesome evaluation tools a swimming coach can have. It's not complicated, you have a row and a column (time and distance) and you cross the two a score. Really simple and accurate. I can download it to you.
