For today's breast stroke drills, I tried to do 1 stroke with 2 breaststroke kicks followed by the next pull with 2 dolphin kicks. What this did was forced the breast kicks to get a bit tighter to keep similar timing and body position with the upper body and kept doing some 50's like this. From there went to single breast kick with a shorter pull to synchronize with less leg action. Does that sound right?
Doesn't sound right to me. typically when you do a 2 kick / 1 pull breaststroke you want to keep the kicks consistent with how you would normally do them, and keep the pull the same, but you just tack on the extra kick in streamline underwater. It's a drill designed partly to get you kicking in the streamline phase of breaststroke, when resistance is low, rather than during the breath and recovery when resistance is high.
pull in streamline, then kick in streamline.
