Every length of breaststroke  -- and every stroke of breaststroke – starts with a good foundation  -- with good balance and a body that’s streamlined from fingertips to toes.

Start your breaststroke practice with a long, strong pushoff, holding a tight streamline until you rise to the surface.

See how far you can go…how straight you can stay.   See how well you can maintain your balance.    See if you can have arms, head, shoulders, and suit all break the surface at the same time.  

Great breaststroke is built around this position.  Perfect alignment.  Perfect streamline.

This is where you want to start and finish each stroke of breaststroke.   Practicing this kind of streamlined pushoff is a great way to begin every breaststroke session.
