It used to be my weakest stroke now it's one of my favourite. I also think it's fundamental to improve both your resistance and butterfly tempo as the breastroke has some similarities to butterfly.

I just picked up swimming recently and all I've done so far to improve my breast stroke is take a look at the guys in the other lanes who are clearly training for competition and try to mimic their movements and tempo. I was oblivious to concepts such as streamline and although I actually picked up on it yesterday watching the other guys, I had no idea why they were doing it. It's nice to have a video explaining every part of the stroke in such detail. I also try to listen to what their coach is telling them while I do my thing, I'm basically pimping them by having lessons without paying 😂

A technical point: you mentioned that during the "shooting" of your arms forwards you encounter resistance (force over "area") so you said, do this fast to minimize it. Well from pure physics I would say that the fastest you do it the more force you requires or more resistance you encounter. So from that do that "slowly" Of course this will not work " we all know this" but it is the shortening of that time to accomplish a good stream line that give you the benefit. Your thoughts. I am a physicist)
@FaresKsebati2 жыл бұрын
Great question! This is definitely the slowest part of the stroke, but you want to get to that extended streamline position as quickly as possible, because that outstretch minimizes drag - not the motion that it takes to get into that position. Hope that makes sense :)

Cutting the demo video into just 3 or 4 seconds each time makes it difficult to appreciate the points you memtioned. Also , it may be useful if you could deploy a huge TV set, say over 55 inches, so that you can point to the swimmer and tell the viewers the jist of the techniques.

I am struggling with being fast enough in meeting that pool skill (I've performed all my other watermanship skills with no issues). I'm not sure if the breast stroke is even the one I should be doing but my body type isn't a swimmers body (Barrel chest more muscular type build).

This is a great question and really depends on a few things. Mostly how strong your kick and pull is and also these factors relative to how good your body position is (how high you are in the water). You should aim to have your hands shoot forward BEFORE your kick is complete so that the most propulsive part of the kick drives your body forward when your hands are in streamline or at least close to it.
