I started swimming again about a year ago (after a 45 year layoff). For the past 6-8 months I have been doing 12-15000+ yards a week, almost all breaststroke, lots of repeats. My knees were replaced about 8 years ago and they are very good but I cannot get much drive with them. My 50 yard time is horrible for the amount of work I am doing. I believe it is because I cannot get a lot of lift when I bend them backwards (less than 90 degrees). Has anyone got any suggestions?

My problem is not how much breaststroke I do. I do 10-15000 yds a week but I just can't get much speed as I can't bring my feet up and back near my butt. My 50 time is in the 45 second range And I am 67. I am trying to make my kick wider to compensate. Don't know if that will make a differance or not. Anyone have any other ideas.
