I still think my breaststroke timing may be off. I did the 200 snorkel swim to try to figure out where my breaths should be taken and felt like I didn't really find "the spot". Lots of work to do yet on breaststroke. Yarrrgh! My nemesis, breaststroke. It seems to help a bit if I start exhaling right as my head goes down, but still doesn't feel really smooth.

I did feel like I was starting to get a smoother rhythm in my 200 free swims. I think the kicking I've done lately and focus on re-integrating my kick helps.
