The way I learned it, your hands start down near the bottom of your ribs and brush the body as they extend forward as far as they can go.

The elbows are bent when moving the hands forward past the body, and extended for the rest of the stroke. > 1.

I didn't learn it with any circling movement at the end of the extension; the movement is a single, smooth circle repeated until you get to the end of the pool. Is that the way that Danny is describing it, Stefan? > 2. Do both arms move at the same time in a breast stroke? Yes. -- -Angus B.
