I personally find this one of the easiest strokes to do, but it is very difficult to master due to the timing needed to be really efficient with this stroke.

@rampalar3557

It's the easiest for me because you dont really run out of breath.

A tip to make the video easier to understand, dont change camera angles in between the stroke. Show the complete stroke from one angle then switch to another angle.

@ShaferHart

3 күн бұрын

I agree. The edit does look cool but from a pedagogical perspective it's confusing with the change of angle between a single stroke.

To me this is the most intuitive stroke of all. Breathing is effortless because the upward thrust of the pull phase naturally makes your head surface to take a breath.

My breaststroke was complimented today by another swimmer, which was a nice confidence boost after being out of swimming for over 5 years due to injury.

It used to be my weakest stroke now it's my best one. I think putting a lot of effort on this stroke, indirectly improved my freestyle, butterfly and underwater turns. I must say that also my lungs capacity improved so lot.

Fun fact; when sprinting, breaststroke -the granny stroke- actually requires the most strenght out of all the strokes, even fly. No wonder Adam Peaty is so JACKED :d

Also the most demanding technique, I never really worked on it much growing up and it limited my ability in 200 & 400 medley ... As a masters swimmer I am actually faster at breastroke now. Sub 2:40 200m the last 2 years with a pb of 2:37 (25m pool) at age 41. Keeping the knees together got me from around 1:30 for 100m in the 400 medley to about 1:23 ... working on sub 1:20 to get me under 4:45.

@@realalbertan I love the 100 breaststroke, it's one of the few swimming events in which I'm better than average. That being said, I can't swim the 200 breaststroke at all. I find it weirdly difficult to pace in breaststroke, like I have 3 speeds, snails pace, moderate, and all out sprint.

I recently learnt that I've been doing breaststroke all wrong my whole life! I've been putting my legs out kind of to the side instead of bringing my feet up to my butt. I have a lot to unlearn! This video has helped

@alibob1986

I have been the same! I learnt this stroke when I was in primary school and I always got told to sort of bring my legs up together, nore like knees towards my stomach, then kick them out wide like into a circle and back. And my arms were hands together, back of hands touching, then push the water out and do a sort of circle type thing with my arms too. No wonder I've always been terrible at breast stroke 😂😂

I always had trouble synchronising my breathing with normal swimming. Switched to breast stroke about 10 years ago after a shoulder injury. love it, can swim for hours and my lungs no longer feel like they are going to explode

One serious fact is missing from the vid: Timing the kick to the arm movement - WHEN to kick? I mean it is visible in the video "more or less", but a detailed instruction would be helpful.

Nice tips

Timing varies slightly from swimmer to swimmer, some videos tell you that you should start the kick phase once you have fully extended the arms, some like this one show that the swimmer starts the frog kick as soon as he's done with the pull. I've been revising my breaststroke technique and trying to find the optimal timing by starting the kick earlier (like in this video) or later, still I haven't understood which is better for me. I saw videos that have slightly different timing. If you watch breaststroke champions from underwater in slow motion (there are some videos out there) they don't have the exact same timing. Maybe it's personal.

Try the 1 pull 3 kick drill. Do one pull then while you kick focus on keeping your hips high in the water. Also, the higher you head comes up, the harder it is to keep higher hips, so try and keep it low as best you can. But the 1 pull 3 kick drill really helped me. Also the more flexible of a lower back you have, the easier it will be.

i have a test of swimming in school and ur halping my:)

This is my favorite too. And IMO, the next most taxing after butterfly (especially at competitive effort). Since it’s very inefficient and momentum driven to propel forward at speed. I easily get my HR to my peak (170 ish) when doing it at best effort.

Thanks for breaking this swimming style into logical pieces, helps a lot in understanding the mechanics of this stroke, however since focusing on my leg work and starting to push harderI have started to encounter knee pain, so I had to move to the butterfly kick to ease the pain. Do you know what may cause that or how can I prevent that? It is annoying and it actually pushes me away from the breast stroke style. Any advice would be more than welcome! Thanks!

What order do you pull and kick? Is it same time or one after the other

I like your video

I've just started learning to breaststroke but I can't grasp the kick motion,it's been 2 months now and i still can't master it,any tricks of the trade to help me..

I go to this swimming 🏊‍♀️ class ☺️

I’ve always considered swimming as my nemesis. i’ve never been a strong swimmer and for some odd reason when i’m in the pool my mind becomes obsessed with how fast or slow i am going. I love the breaststroke but can never seem to master the kick. Coordination of everything including breathing has always been a challenge. Realising now as i take to swimming again (not to be defeated) i can actually use aids to isolate and work on the movements. I think the dolphin kick with BS would really work for me! thanks 🙏

I love this stroke but I am so slow with it. thank you

Which is more important stroke - with legs or with hands, or is it both equally? I was practicing and I found that if emphasize it on the legs, I'm faster. I wasnt diving with the head though and didn't see any instructions on how to swim breaststroke correctly.

Tomorrow im going to las vegas staying at mandalay bay and i really want to learn this when i get there

How to time the hand strokes with the kicks? Any ideal ratio?

Are we allowed to use the Breast Stroke on the Full Ironman? I've improved my crawl significantly but I still find it easier to breathe on the Breast Stroke.

I'm a self taught swimmer after pretty much just being left alone in the pool a lot as a child (maybe not the safest thing but I survived). So I have no idea how these techniques work. I think i will try this the next time I go to a pool.thank you

Pre swimming exercise please

I play around with my breast stroke timing quite a bit. In one version I insert a quick dolphin kick after I straighten out and just before I pull... at least I think that's what I'm doing. It seems to add a little speed to my laps. Maybe it wouldn't be allowed in a race?

heloo sir kindly advise the drills for Brest stroke

I noticed there is two different types of strokes, 1) the one mentioned in the video 2) tucking your legs outward instead of outward what is the difference between those two strokes?

I’m at the pool rn alone and I might as well learn now

Easy to learn hard to master

I am about to do this stroke

The demo show the kick and arm movement is in alternate motion. I use to kick and push the arm backwards simultaneously . Am I doing wrong?

(1) Is it a good exercise of the kick when you disable your hands by hold your palms joines together on your lumbar spine? (2) does the exhale technique matter? I prefer to exhale with my mouth loose and slightly open (like in those Mach acceleration movies) but not sure if that induces more drag. I find it more relaxing though.

Why is breaststroke a great alternative if you prominently swim freestyle? Great video!

I know nothing about swimming but came to watch this🙏
