One example is the image of Brendan Hansen's hig..

Wide-pull breaststroke is a good drill to help start the learning process. Why Do It: A wide pull allows you not only to connect with more water, but also to connect your upper body to the pull. It's really a..

Breaststroke - Breakout Posted by Glenn Mills on Apr 04, 2008 05:03AM Transferring, or merging your speed from pushoff to swim is a skill that you can never work on enough. Even in breaststroke, when you've already got so much to think about with the pushoff, pulldown, dolphin kick, recovery of the arms and legs, that first stroke can make or break races.
