Breaststroke: Underwater pullouts and swimming

Where do you put the dolphin kick in the underwater pullout?
How big a kick do you take?
What do you do with your arms and hands to sneak them forward after the kick?
While swimming, how quickly do you get your kick around and back into streamline?
How wide is your pull?  How wide is your kick?
How do you draw your feet up (toes in?  toes out?) before the whip?

Watch Kosuke Kitajima at real speed in this first video.  See the underwater swimming at about :30

 

In this next video, watch a swimmer who puts the dolphin kick at the end of the pullout out armpull in the beginning of the video.  Kitajima slow motion follows, who puts the dolphin kick at the beginning of the armpull.
