CRA's Swim Tips: Breaststroke Kick Corrections

Are you or your swimmer struggling to achieve the breaststroke kick? Watch this video for a tutorial on correcting scissor-kick or frog-kick into a proper breaststroke whip kick!

[@samanthasweet8996]

Great explanation, best vid I've seen on breaststroke kick (and I've watched a few!) Many thanks!

[@ryandanielable]

I kept having problems with the kick, people told me all my life that the frog thingy is correct, while I always end up doing the asymmetrical (the first one).. Thanks for showing both! I'll apply it next time and start stretching :)

[@sepr99]

Until now the most informative and instructional video about breaststroke kick that I have seen. Tanks

[@craighoover1495]

This was very insightful. After today and 63 years 5 months and three days of doing it wrong, I think I will be able to do it right.

[@mythicalunimadds2565]

My coach never taught me this and I never knew that I was doing the kick wrong the entire time! I appreciate you showing me the correct way. 😊

[@thomo1162]

your such a wonderful teacher

[@mndyD9]

This literally helped so much! Thank you for sharing!!

[@nicolaevans39]

[@barbaragibson8101]

Great video, very clear in explanation

[@jacksmith-xu7tu]

Best video I seen so far, with great tips for practicing at home :-)

[@thanajeawmalee8634]

Thanks for great technique.

[@MetaView7]

Oh what a sweet coach

[@aliceanderson4284]

I wish a coach knew to do this for me when I was younger! I will definitely be doing the home exercises though. Thank you very much!

[@xandermcn]

Didn't even know I'm not supposed to do the frog kick.. thanks

[@Cloud-Radio]

Great tips .. thanks really practical

[@paulthesquid3595]

Great stuff just what i as looking for on breaststroke kick.

[@jockmoron]

Interesting. I'm 72 and I can only swim the breast stroke. But obviously I've been doing this wrong, I've been doing the best imitation of the frog around, including nearly croaking at the end of the swim! But I'd really like to be able to do the crawl, as I'm really envious of all those swimmers who effortlessly glide past me at three times my speed.

[@Aritul]

Have you been able to improve your kick?

[@azorazoor4694]

Thanks a ton

[@binauralwalks8164]

POLICE! Stop right there! You have performed an illegal breaststroke kick!

[@lorenaneuhaeusler7448]

Great tutorial!

[@speedo1105]

very good exercise for getting the feel of the whip kick.

[@ramyg5037]

POST MORE PLEEEEEEEASE!!!...thank you.

[@tunglampham8731]

exactly my problem, tks a lot

[@binauralwalks8164]

Helpful, thanks. My knees are too wide when I propel forwards. I thought frog shape was correct. Now I know it isn't. Will correct tomorrow in pool.

[@Realanimalchannel]

I love the way yu teach let me subscribe and I try it tomorrow thx

[@kallye.9247]

Sem dúvida uma excelente professora. Conseguiu melhorar a pernada dele em 5 minutos de treino seco.

[@molliemk3477]

Can u do one on breathing? Like breathing while doing brastroke I struggle with even breathes.

[@younglion7099]

Alex such a good boy!

[@seunghyunlee8616]

It looks like his wedge(frog) kick is as effective as his whip kick, even though it's not efficient but it seems work for him.

[@tts80]

Has anyone tried the wall stretching exercises on the floor instead? So the inside of the feet and the knees are on the floor and the same goal of trying to get the botttom to be on the same plane?

[@bulllea]

nice swimming coaches . yourself included ! lol .

[@accept1truth]

I get confused when I do the kick. do I just kick in straight line or do I kick drawing a circle?

[@InspirationEmPire25]

I have partial cerebral palsy so my left foot has trouble turning my left foot out. How do I turn it out properly? I have to really focus on turning it out to do the kick.

[@decordesignz]

How do you guys make swimming look easy it is so hard the water is so heavy on the legs and body😭

[@calvinn1757]

Take a shot everytime she says umm

[@thibod07]

I am a frog kicker! It goes with the way I speak! Back to work I guess! 🐸🐸🐸

[@RELOADINGandSHOOTING]

Another froggy kicker here now wonder I always drown😅😅😅

[@parsakarimaghaei8590]

Didnt know I was swimming illegally

[@cnyapule5860]

Parsa Karimaghaei lol me too.

[@budthecyborg4575]

If you're not in the Olympics you're probably better off ignoring most this lesson, with the exception of that stretch, definitely do the stretch because improved hip and foot mobility will help no matter what kind of stroke you're doing, but I'm 99% certain the frog kick is functionally superior.

[@leymac2180]

He's still on he's Google's even he's already up of the water. Lol

[@michellemiddleton1661]

interesting because we teach toes never come out the water. I guess every one teaches different

[@budthecyborg4575]

After watching five videos I've seen five completely different training methods for the Breaststroke.

[@ellenc.36]

She's not saying the toes should be out of the water, she's saying they should be turned out to the sides. That's what she means by having the toes out.

[@QueenOfRockers]

Omg Lara Croft taught me wrong

[@binauralwalks8164]

Actually Lara swims well in Rise of the Tomb Raider, for the environment she's in. This is a laid-back breaststroke. Lara's version is big wide kick for a strong propulsion forward for, in real life, a short period of time, i.e. for escaping.

[@syahrulminikings]

I watch video of frog kick and i think it's the true but it's totally wrong 😂

[@skedtm]

You guys seriously think this helped just like that? The reason she got him to demostrate is because he was good at breaststroke in the first place. I think these may help but over a longer period of time.

[@accept1truth]

I get confused when I do the kick. do I just kick in straight line or do I kick drawing a circle?

[@radziahradzi]

Yes, draw a circle
