If you always wanted to learn breaststroke and I mean real proper breaststroke this one video will take care of it fully. It's all about streamline. Every stroke, every wall, every push. That's where your speed comes from. Everything else builds on top of it. If you want to go deeper on any part of breaststroke, we have specific videos for every element inside the Swim Success app. Link in bio. The first thing you have to understand about breaststroke is that it's all about streamline. Between every stroke, you need a sharp streamline. And especially when you're pushing off the wall, sharp streamline, speed comes from. After you build that speed, that's when your arms come in. Swipe outside to catch the water and this is when you breathe. When you swipe outside, your body naturally lifts up. So all you have to do is to take a breath right there. Then as your arms move forward, that's when your head... most people get wrong. When they try to go too wide, behind their ribs, move the arm back forward, they create a ton of resistance. So keep your elbows always in front of your ribs the entire time. That's what lets you move your arms forward cleanly without fighting the water. And you have to make an important decision. If your goal is to swim as fast as possible with breaststroke, then you have to add the kick when your arms move forward. It will create a double propulsion, compensates for the resistance that your arms created by moving forward. But if your goal is to swim smooth and long, let your arms finish completely. Make a sharp streamline and only then add your kick. This way you will get maximum propulsion and you glide as long as possible. And if you want to go deeper in learning breaststroke, we have a whole video segment covering every single element of breaststroke inside the Swim Success training app. Link in bio.
