What I love about swimming drills is that they just as cool as the actual strokes

[@FaresKsebati]

Well said, Marcia! Happy swimming :)

[@outdoorsports6768]

Great tips! As a former competitive breast stroke swimmer, I’m glad that you focus on this very underrated stroke! It is such a technical stroke and probably a better total body workout than freestyle!

[@FaresKsebati]

Definitely the most technical stroke of all four! Happy swimming :)

😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@Born2BFly]

My favorite stroke … and more complex than people think. I use it as a warm up to my medley.

[@anaortiz4578]

How do you identify your style? I want to know mine!

[@acrelake]

I set my PR in the 100 yd breast 10 years ago at 1:00.06. I've only been doing triathlons since then, but recently got the urge to try and break 1 min.

[@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731]

Was that in competition?

[@acrelake]

@@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731 yeah, scy though

[@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731]

@@acrelake nice! I misinterpreted your comment and thought you just decided to swim and go for a 60 second breast stroke. Lol A minutes really good, even for today’s standards. One of the kids I coach is graduating this year and hit that (also in yards). And he’s got a d2 scholarship from it.

[@mazensleiman3863]

great video, but why the drills are not linked into the workout?

[@Silvia-rc3pb]

Me encanta este canal pero por favor subtitulos en español!!

[@craighoover1495]

Which part of the foot propels water? the top, bottom or sides? My feet are smallish so I get frustrated in getting any sense of propulsion on the bottom of my feet. I really struggle with getting power off any but the top of my feet.

[@williamrithaler4051]

I've been trying for a while to break 1:10 in my 100 breast, so hopefully this will help!

Hi, nice video, I have a question, could you explain to me what it means 200P +1 ? Thanks & blessings

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi! This means you'll take your 50 pace for a 200 breaststroke, then add one second to it. Hope that makes sense!

[@annamaharaj3614]

Do you have a video on how to do a breaststroke pullout ?

[@malgorzatachp]

Hi! Is the kick in 3:07 done correctly? I mean his hips are bent quite significantly - that's how I naturally perform my kick but lately I've read that you should keep your hips straight and not bent (I have to say that I tried to kick with straight hip, it's doable but my hip flexors hurt VERY much after workout).

I have great difficulty to 'chest up' and therefore did not catch the breath AND thereby head quickly drops into water and felt panting. How do I rise up to catch the breath ?

Use your arms in circle motion stroke so you can rise your head in the water

Is it one or two dolphin kicks per breaststroke pull?

One, do not do 2 you will be Dq’d

[@robertkertmegi9590]

You can do both drills..with 2 fly kicks it works on late breath style. :)

I used to be much faster in breaststroke, then tore my ACL and since then I feel I'm out od sync. Any tips?

[@eczburakozbayy]

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@briandarga5443]

When you say that when you are kicking on your back your knees should stay underwater, how will you practice breaststroke kick then? I see it as elementary backstroke kick rather than breaststroke!

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi Brian! When kicking breaststroke kick on your back, you want your heels to drop down and start the propulsion of the breaststroke kick. If you think about this motion flipped over on your stomach, dropping your knees creates more drag, while keeping them in line with your body and raising the heels instead creates propulsion :)

[@chenpingngim7772]

I always end up at a corner of the pool WHEN IN FACT I started at the centre. WHY is it so ?

[@anaortiz4578]

Look down when you get into the streamline position, and check that you are swimming in same lane or check that you are following the same line of tiles accross the pool. It might have to do with your arm movements tho, maybe you are pulling with more force from one side? And thats making you do a zigzag movement? Ask someone to record you so you can check and correct the issue

[@pitt831]

do you mean at 0:56 that breaststroke is the most inefficient way to swim?

[@tanjadenic4606]

i didnt get , do you talk here in yards or meters , cause me as a proffesional swimmer , 2 strokes looks almost impossible on 25 metars pool?

[@user-rg1lr2do9n]

[@lucaseradi9739]

It must be said that open water swimming differs from pool swimming. Different techniques !

[@paulmcclean8677]

I find it strange that we coaches always refer to the drill as 2 kicks 1 pull, when in reality breaststroke begins with the pull, so 1 pull 2 kicks would be more accurate.

[@seemsegit]

4:25 "if u keep ur kick narrow and ur knees dont come outside ur shoulders, its gonna require u to have more flexibility" -> shouldnt we keep our knees at shoulder width to have an efficient kick? what u r implying here is our knees should be wider than shoulder width, which contradicts what u said earlier?

[@berniefynn6623]

Notice how the swimmer stops in his tracks when he dives, stupid stroking and the hands do not go out ,they go UNDER the chest.

[@berniefynn6623]

B/Stroke is done lying prone on the water,and just raise the head, NOT this braindead rise up and dive crap.
