Answer 1

Immediately after finishing a breath in breaststroke, you should **begin the outsweep phase**. This phase involves moving your hands outwards to the sides before sweeping them back in during the insweep. The timing of these phases is crucial for maintaining an efficient stroke and maximizing propulsion in the water.
