I don't understand how your breaststroke could be crooked, are you too powerful on one side or are your legs not bending right?

I think you just need to go back to the basics. Stay out of breaststroke competitve swims for now while you practice this during practicing time. Just go over all of the basics again if your times are going down. Breaking down a person's swimming style is like taking apart a jet engine: if you're missing just one nut or bolt you're done for (I mean for things like getting into more competitive races). Go over arm and leg synchornization, arm pull in distance, foot angles, knee seperation lengths and glide distance along with anything else you can think of.
