What are some good dry-land stretches or workouts to improve your breaststroke?

I'm 12 and I stink at breaststroke, i have a 48.48 for 50 yards! I want to improve it so that i can be better overall.|||Breaststrokers tend to be very flexible in their legs, especially their quads. A very good strech for this is too start standing, get down on your knees, and gently lower yourself back so that your back is on the ground and your legs folded beneath you. It's best to do this infront of the TV so you have something to do lol. Hold it for as long as you feel comfortable, but stop immediately if it starts to hurt, and if you expierence any pain whatsoever, while getting into the pose, STOP. Not all people are able to do this, and you could cause injury to yourself from pushing too hard.





Also, starting from the same position on your knees, move your legs out to the side of your thighs. When you do this, it should in some way resemble part of breaststroke kick. The same applies on this one as above on how long to hold and any pain.
