GoSwim GoldBreaststroke - Long Stroke
7 commentsThe sport has changed and if you're not making moves to go with it, maybe it's time to take a serious look at soccer.
Endless Pool Elite Challenge Set
Here's a fun drill if you have a chance to jump in the Endless Pool Elite, or better yet, have one for yourself.
Breaststroke - Pull Buoy Kick
From developing a narrower kick, to avoiding knee pain, kicking breaststroke with a pull buoy is a very useful drill.
Breaststroke - Mini Pull
When most people swim breaststroke, they focus on a big, strong, powerful pull. There may be another way.
Breaststroke - High Heels Kick
Grabbing the water early in the breaststroke kick is a big advantage when you want to swim faster. Making sure you do this with the least amount of resistance makes it even better.
Breaststroke - Kick with Fins
Here's a great way to add a new dimension to an old drill. Two-down, one-up breaststroke drill with fins!
Breaststroke - Body Dolphin Straight Arms
When doing drills, it's important to understand how all the pieces fit together to get the most out of every drill.
Breaststroke - Forced Hand Speed
Many young breaststrokers search for power rather than finesse when trying to go fast. Sometimes forcing them into a rate above what's comfortable can help them keep the hands quick, and where they should be.
Breaststroke - High Heels Progression 2
Here's a remake of a drill we shot back in 2005. Even with many swimmers trying to get a shallower kick, for some, they've gone a bit too far in trying to reduce the resistance of the recovery, and now get nothing out of the kick at all... time to revisit.
Carlos Almeida Breaststroke Stills
NCAA Champion from Louisville, Carlos Almeida, shares some very cool breaststroke techniques with us.
Breaststroke - Thumb-Lock Extension
When working with young (or older) swimmers, reaching full extension in breaststroke is sometimes a challenge.
Breaststroke - The Last Stroke
This isn't really a drill...just something that happened this morning during a lesson.
Breaststroke - Wall Wave
Here's a quick drill using the wall to help develop the feeling of a flowing breaststroke.
