10 Breaststroke Swimming Tips: Improve Your Technique, Kicking and Breathing
Breaststroke is one of the four main competitive swimming strokes, alongside freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly. It is a popular stroke among beginners and recreational swimmers because it allows swimmers to maintain a relatively comfortable pace and develop coordinated movements.
Although breaststroke may appear simple, swimming it efficiently requires proper timing between the arms, legs, breathing, and gliding.
Many beginners struggle with breaststroke because they bend their knees excessively, perform an ineffective frog kick, lift their heads too high, or fail to coordinate their movements correctly.
