How To Swim Breaststroke | Technique For Breaststroke Swimming

I got a question

(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.

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

Awesome, thanks!! 🎉

I have pain in my right hip
Which stroke can help get over it

When I’m gliding with my legs straight, they vibrate a bit because of the force, is it normal?

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!

I’ve started sinking in my breast stroke. Why??

Nice make more videos❤

Your knees are too wide

My friends, my peers, and some of my family thinks I'm washed. I'm only 14 but I want to make it big, this video helped me, thank you!

I don’t advance with my kick, in my head, I’m doing it right… maybe it just requires more practice and practice 😢

You forgot to speak about the timing of this stroke😢

Breaststroke is my worst enemy, I’m watching this driving to the pool.😅

Beautiful practical demonstration ❤🎉🎉🎉

I wonder why my body sinks when I move my head up to breathe.

I can’t get the kick

Thie breast stroke is one stroke I struggled with in the pass. I failed my lifeguard certification class due to not knowing it very well. Being a lifeguard was always a dream of mine. Now I avoid dreaming big due to unexpected limitations. It’s humiliating to share, but I’m sure someone has had a similar experience

I hate this stroke, it's been 3 months, and it's the only thing stopping me in training sessions.

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 🙏

When I start swimming breaststroke style beginning is good but later I struggle to breath and hence I start to panic..what to do?

Gotta learn this just in case I gotta whip out the breast stroke in a ironman

Hi GTN, just found your channel, love it :) thanks a lot for this and lots of other great stuff! A quick question on this video please? Thinking about working on breastsroke drills, how do rate Breaststroke fins? Specifically with a kickboard to help perfect my kick? Are they worth it? Thanks a lot! G

Omg im so slow at swimming but discovered today ive been doing it wrong for 40yrs 😅

I am a swimmer

I need to know how to dive in and do breaststroke ❤

Breastroke is the best stroke for cardio and a full body workout. Swimming 60-80 lengths of breastroke 2 or 3 times a week is the main staple of my fitness routine. I have knock knees which make me prone to injuries when running, but make the leg kick in breaststroke come naturally to me.

Fanqu

Can anyone help? My left leg does a screw kick 😢

Hiii
Tell me some speed drills

Its unbelievable that so many people do this completely wrong, and when I tell them the right technique they start arguing...

I watched this and for the first time in4 years didn’t get disqualified

When I kick, my legs start sinking. How do I keep them up?

thank you ❤

Hate crime

Hey! Nice work on the explanation. I really liked it.
Just one question though - How should one coordinate hand and kick movement. They can be learnt independently, now is there any relation as to when should you move your arm in a particular direction depending on which stage of kick you are in?
Please let me know

Thank you, because I go to swimming

Whenever i do breaststroke i tend to move in the bottom rather than moving up amd forward😢

This made me realize I'm a really bad swimmer.

Just wanted to say thank you. Been practising on improving my technique and I'm already more confident after just 2 swims!

Hey, i was just wondering about can you make a more deep explanation video about the kicks

How do you do that?

can you stop changing the camera angle all the time, the motion cant be followed

I'm returning to swimming after a six year absence due to shoulder injury at 40 and I'm feeling tension in my back when pushing out of the water. It feels like I'm hyperextended my low bacj. What are some troubleshooting things I can do to fix this? Could it be core weakness or lumbar stiffness? What can I do to resolve it? Thank you very much

Literally the best video I’ve seen! Holy moly! 10 out of 10!!!!!!

Hm quite hard to do 😮

Very good lesson

Bývam na Slovensku blízko krásneho jazera Zlaté piesky Bratislava s čistou vodou 1000 x 500 m a plávam celý rok pri teplotách vody od 5 stupňov do 30 stupňov a teplotách vzduchu od -5 stupňov do 38 stupňov. Už takmer 70 rokov stále vylepšujem svoj plavecký štýl a synchronizáciu pohybov a zodpovedá presne tomu, čo ste prezentovali vo videu. Plávajú tak aj moje deti i vnúčatá - efektívne a rýchlo. Vďaka za kvalitné video.
