Swimming Basics - How to do Breaststroke Legs | Aaquatics
Are you a new swimmer or not too confident in the water? Breastroke is a fantastic first stroke to learn as you can swim it entirely without putting your face in the water (if you don't want to yet). It is also a great stroke for those with shoulder or lower limb injuries as it is a linear stroke without too much rotation of the joints.
In this video, Adam runs through the basics of the breaststroke kick, what to look out for and how to practice it by yourself. This is part 1 of 3 in our breaststroke series - check out our swimming basics playlist for the arms and full stroke videos.

KZread must’ve read my mind because I was just trying breaststroke yesterday and was thinking I was probably doing my legs wrong. I knew I needed to find a video to learn how to and this one was recommended to me. This was very helpful. Thank you!

My speed is not there
Hi, I had total knee replacement on my both knees, I want to learn breast stroke. But because of total knee operation I can’t bend completely, to bring my legs near my bottom. I can bend only upto 90% . So do you think I can’t do breast stroke properly?

Best to follow your doctor’s advice. But from experience this won’t be a problem for you at all. Even with the limited range of motion, you will still be able to perform the leg action and it will help you to strengthen the associated muscles and tendons around the joint. I’d recommend trying it with the legs in isolation, perhaps buy yourself a pool noodle and pop it under your arms and try the leg action. I will film a video for you soon, to show different ways to practice all of these things in multiple ways. In the meantime best of luck, let us know how it goes! 👍 If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out.
