mark b	Responded Jul 07, 2006 12:22PM Nice picture off the breaststroke recovery. The swimmer is making the recovery with the hands a bit above the water,but,is this an advantage??????? Very nice position of the hands ,they tell me that the swimmer has make a good insweep . The position of the head at this stage of the stroke cycle : the swimmer has take a breath at the right time.
swimbreast	Responded Jul 07, 2006 12:23PM This is a great picture, there are so many things to point out here in her stroke (shoulder shrug, low body position.head and eyes down, hands in great streamline) just a FANTASTIC stroke I am showing this to all my swimmers.
Tomás	Responded Jul 07, 2006 01:31PM Yes, I agree that it is a great picture and a very nice recovery, but it is important to keep in mind that such a recovery can only happen if prior things are done right as well....like (the insweep, breathing with the core movement, keeping the eyes looking down, keeping a forward movement at all times etc.) Tomas
