Swimming - Breaststroke - Underwater Pull, Power Phase

I actually wrote this about a month ago, and set it to turn on today. However, USA Swimming has recently clarified this rule, and we just filmed some rough video this morning at the pool. It's posted below and will hopefully give some clarification to the new interpretation of the rule.

could you do a video on breaststroke turns or turn drills? breaststroke turns kick my butt, so im trying to improve them to drop time on my 100m breaststroke, but i'm not 100% how to do it :/

@RyEBreaD757 - We have. Go search for "Go Swim Breaststroke Turns & Pullouts" on our website. There's an entire video featuring NCAA Champion Dave Denniston's turns.

i suck at breaststroke. the only reason why i can keep up with people is cuz of my start/pullout.

@fenderbender321 - I keep telling "non" breaststrokers, especially in short course, learn THIS skill, and you don't have to swim much breaststroke. You've figured that out on your own, which is very good. Now... as a breaststroker... I'm still trying to figure out how to keep up on BACKSTROKE. Lane line is my only solution. ;)

Thanks for the comments. Congrats on your improvement, and obviously GREAT work!

cool.

is it actually legal to do the fly kick first?

i basically break my hands and kick at the same time, which allows me to sneak in a small extra kick in the form of a natural body undulation.
