you are doing the feet wrong- they ar supposed to be under water :)

[kaizer3000jp]

er guys, what move is this: the person does the breaststroke, only with his head upwards? (he didnt bop his head up n down the water like in this video)..

The technique with the full head lift seems to be from early 1990s or even 1980s. I wouldn't say it's wrong, just old-fashioned and easier for the general public to learn. Kneecaps should be hip to shoulder-width apart depending on the swimmer. If you were taught to keep them closer together it was likely an over-correction to help you because your knees were turning out wider than the feet (like a frog) instead of the feet turning out wider than the knees (actual whip kick).

This is not right at all... you are suppose to come up each time you call your self former professionals

[afara2000]

This style seems to be correct. Only head is a raised a little high for breathing. Normally breaststroke swimmers look downward when breathing.

[WinnieDap00h]
