We've been fortunate to have produced one of the most widely used breaststroke turn videos. It's beautiful! Dave Denniston showing absolute perfection in his turns. Yes... we're biased.

Swimming Set of the Week - September 11, 2010
This set offers many chances to work on important aspects of the open turn: a legal touch (of course!); eyes down and arms extended at the touch; elbow back; fall back with the body; point the toes during the tuck. Watching the turn section of Eric Shanteau's video for 10 minutes prior to getting in the pool will give you tons of technique tips and visual images to take into your practice.
