Very useful video i like it , but i wonder is breaststroke good for me while i have shoulders injury ( impingement) ?

[@CKxperience]

So much better than any of my swim coaches

[@DMonath]

It's incredibly embarrassing that it took this long to learn proper breaststroke timing and position, but this is probably the best, most succinct breakdown I've ever seen.

[@SkillsNT]

Thank you!

[@tanyazheng5669]

So true! This is the best breakdown video.

[@sportysbusiness]

LOL! well said, after 50 years of swimming I've just learned I was doing it wrong!

[@blessingjohnchelliah4317]

Moving your arms slowly is more relaxing, but it will cut your speed. Does the butterfly kick help propulsion?

[@ivapavivapav]

Same here... 50 years old used to swim when i was a kid and on and off as an adult. Just now realized that The arm stroke and legstroke shouldnt be together. Tested it in the pool and the diffrence was amazing.. Thank you so much for the breakdown👍🙏

[@pol4171]

Your explanation is always useful: slow, clear, and precise. There's no need boosting pop music like some others. I improved my swimming a lot after watching your technics. Thank you.

[@irishkitty7257]

Swam in high school and college. I was never taught how to do the breaststroke properly. Kids are so lucky to have training g videos.

[@yuminator81]

My 5yr old just made the team and swimming breaststroke - however she figured it out - and looks interesting. Super cute, but you know... 🤔 according to her coach she is swimming "just like a six year old would". Ok... I don't really buy that...? Basic habits can stick to you and can be hard to break. As she grows and gets stronger and body shape changes I'm sure there will be changes that may need to be made - some natural, some may need more focused effort... but some basic muscle memory building can happen on dryland I believe if need be, especially if the coaches are not willing to be hands on in the pool - of course to the extent she's interested in doing at this age - but feeding knowledge and the opportunity to learn is important. I think just showing her this video just to visualize what SHOULD happen already is a great start. So thank you for the video!! I love the break down of it and visual in different angles!! 👍👍

[@qkayaman]

I did it, finally managed to swim proper breastroke after trying for ages. Now it feels like I can go on forever without tiring. What I'd say to anyone trying to learn this is keep going, eventually you'll get it. What made it click for me is realizing it's all about feeling the glide, everything else seemed to fall into place after that.

[@bataa120]

for gliding, flowing near water surface is key. but to be near surface, you need flexible lower hips not to drop during pull. i think you have flexible body.

[@profie24]

Why has no one ever given me good instruction on how to swim properly, even when I was in a club? Society in general does everything wrong that you can do wrong, even outside of swimming in so many aspects of life, which means I can only learn through constant trial and error and watching youtube videos of ever-increasing quality. Like the videos on this channel. A very grateful endurance athlete.

[@leslieyoder8280]

I am 77 and a beginner. Last autumn I took my first lessons for the crawl but could never get the breathing correct. Now I am taking swim lessons again and per my daughter’s advice I am learning the breast stroke so breathing will be easier. This video is amazing. The instructions, diagrams, and explanations as to the “Why” is quite excellent. Even at my age it is helpful. Thank you. It is easy to see why you have so many subscribers. Good luck in your future endeavors.😊

[@FishingJen]

Thank you for this video. I started swimming regularly again after decades of only very casual times in the water & not regularly at that. Breaststroke is where I'm focusing due to injuries & 2 cervical fusions. I found I couldn't remember any good mechanics on the kick & had no power. I was always a freestyle swimmer when I did compete all those years ago & breaststroke was definitely not a strong style for me back then. I watched a bunch of videos, but yours is the 1st to really break it down in a view & way that I can visually process. I also appreciate the floor exercises demonstrated to help me work on this.

[@ronberrype]

Excellent! There are a lot of breaststroke videos out there. Yours is far better than any other I've seen!

[@ruthlessluder]

As a beginner swimmer, after watching this video and a bunch of Michael Phelps' video, I was still a bit confused as to the timing. What worked for me is to look at the arm/chest and thigh/leg as two separate motions. You pull, breathe, straighten your arms, then on your way down you start to kick and glide. Then there's a split second when your entire body is entirely straight, then you repeat again. I find that looking at the upper body and lower body as two independent set of events helps a lot.

[@Falcode101]

Do you start to engage your legs, pulling your ankles up, when you breathe? I’m also a beginner and I’m struggling with the timing.

[@sashkad9246]

@@Falcode101 for me it is after I've breathed in, after my head is already under the water. It is naturally easier that way because you don't have the resistance on the surface of the water.

[@catherinewoodrow8531]

Spot on, I tell my students to start in a pencil float, pull, breathe, kick & glide, then start the next pull or scoop as we call it 👍

[@abdumamed6602]

@@catherinewoodrow8531 i saw bunch of people with their heads up at all time but i have difficulty doing that, so instead i breath in when i pull and either hold it or breath out for the most part, but i get exhausted too quickly. Is there a technique to keep your head out all the time?

[@katebeedot6964]

Best advice for timing for me is the mantra: Pull - Kick -Glide

[@christinapalafox]

I'm not any kind of "real" swimmer- I don't swim competitively, nor am I committed to the sport of it. I swim because I am disabled and the buoyancy of water gives me freedom of movement and lessens joint pain due to gravity. I really appreciate this video being so accessible experience-wise, so I can learn to do the stroke properly without causing myself more physical issues. Thank you.

[@leilatehrani6194]

Thank you for this amazing video! I'm taking swimming lessons but my teacher gives me no directions other than "kick both legs at the same time". Everything I learned was on KZbin tutorials, and this is one of the best I've seen. Congrats on the great work!

Wow this is so much easier rhan actualky swimming. Thanks. But truly... as a fat 52yo man with a very bad back... i have gone from 158kg to 108kg and from very poor breast stroke... like shockingly bad.. to a tolerable breast stroke. Finally , 1.5years later i am now at a point wjere i can start to develop a more masterful swimming style. I am still very slow... 50m takes me close to 2 minute (with no push off... standing in water still start. No push off with rhe legs) 😢 but now thanks to your video i can start to work on those mistake areas. I apreicate you.

[@33Jenesis]

Thank god I don’t have issue with breast stroke sequencing; I got it naturally. However watching coaches explaining in detail how it being done is extremely helpful. I have been a lot more mindful of my coordination, core, arm movement, and breathing since watching this video when I practice breast stroke in the pool.

[@magskelly8490]

I've been so slow, started going swimming 3/4 times a week. Still not speeding up so been watching vids on here to see what lm doing wrong. I've been opening arms and legs at the same time!!

Thankyou. l tried it today and felt much better gliding, going to take me a while to get used to it after years of doing it wrong....

[@tomfireman20]

[@boblangford5514]

I swam in high school many years ago. Breaststroke was my strength. My coach always told me that I was waiting too long to kick, that I should begin bending my knees before I completed my stroke. My timing was actually very similar to the animation in this video. Maybe I misunderstood him, but it was very confusing, and I could never understand how to do it the way he told me. I still did well in the stroke, but I always felt I was doing it wrong.

[@dougimmel]

Hardest stroke to teach and learn.

[@asdfxyz_randomname2133]

Imho, the animation is a tiny bit off with the timing, the kick should come just a tiny bit earlier. When you do it right, it will not feel like two separate motions anymore, and you'll feel like your swimming downhill compared to before, because you'll reach a higher max-speed in the gliding phase. BUT while that other timing makes breaststroke faster, it will also use more energy. For long distance breaststroke swimming, the timing from the animation is probably better, since it saves energy.

[@PCDisciple]

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

Returned to this video. Today is Day 2. I saw this video yesterday for the first time (Day 1). My breaststroke speed today was appreciably faster than yesterday's, as pointed out by the swimming pool lifeguard and also as timed by me and my perception of my speed in the water.

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

These past 4 days I have been focusing mainly on breaststroke in the pool and I feel the stroke becoming more comfortable, but I have yet to measure my speed.

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

Been continuing with (mainly) breaststroke these past few days, and there are times when I feel I am moving really smoothly.

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

For the past one month, I have focusing on the breaststroke keeping in mind the suggestions in this video. I can feel my comfort level as well as speed improving. Now all I need to do is improve my stamina!

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

Back to this video. My breaststroke feels more comfortable than it did a month ago and I don't gasp quite as much as I did, but I still need to develop stamina. Currently, I do the short lap (about 22.5 meters) comfortably, but I need to up my game to either two consecutive short laps or do the long (50 m) lap.
