[mixalis96b]

great technique

[sammcman2]

Im a sophomore in highschool and went a 1:03:20 at sectionals unshaved and half tapered

[QuangSpeedosVu]

2:15 The power of Kosuke's kick in the last 25m pushed that camera away lol

[Thecritic897]

Keeps his hips up, very smooth, and simple, so simple and that is why he is the one of the greatest.

[TheMikeros]

great !!

[Thecritic897]

its so simple but yet so efficient

[2spoons]

I agree (SinSwimmer)... brilliant camera work and awesome breast stroke by Kosuke Kitajima!! - Great to improve your stroke from!

@TheLeilisa

Just a lil' bit, is more important the technique than how tall are you, I have seen swimmers of 170 cm deafeating people of 195 cm, so it doesn't really matter if you are a goliath if you don't know how to move.

[nietaki]

I like it how the cameraman fainted from the lack of air after 2 mins or so :)

Also: great educational film if you want to improve your technique, thanks for uploading

[benjie414]

thanks for the video. i didn't know what kind of kick was used.

what is your favorite swim style?

[timmayi2]

@TheLeilisa Area you a breaststroker? Cause it's really not necessary if you're naturally talented.

[Dimmys1000]

Δεν ειναι ακυρος?αλλαξαν τα πραγματα,

[squirrelaids56]

omg such good technique

[begazie]

dang this guy is good

[jjk1y]

good

[TheMrCoolT]

when you've got technique as perfect as this you don't need to big or tall

[violetb1802]

This is just beautiful and inspirational!

[bkim97]

pisses me off, i feel like he swims faster than my freestyle... -.-

[jimmyuk007]

He has a huge strength on his arms - so that was difference

[MichaelJacksonpoop]

his legs seem different to a frog kick, i tried doing what he did but i somehow did the dolphin kick instead

[ADVERTlSEMENT]

@MichaelJacksonpoop He pushes backwards more than sweeping inwards

[ImJustTooBad]

I have a question, their pulldowns, they do their dolphin kick before their pulldown, and usually it's done with the dolphin kcik at the same time as the pulldown, which is faster? 

[rebakk01]

@ImJustTooBad

It depends. You will definitely have a longer pullout when you kick before your pulldown and swimming underwater conserves energy. If you have a very good dolphin kick independent of your pulldown it will also be faster. It basically has the potential to be faster if you are doing it well.

[ImJustTooBad]

His left leg looks slightly off from is right but, other than that, his kick is so powerful.

[dofaan]

i know this is a breaststroke video. but i got DQ'd at my state final in my 100 backstroke because when i touched the wall my body was underwater. make sure when you touch you flick your foot in the air or stick your dick outta the water or sumtin...... out of habit i usually flick my feet for the finish, but nobody told me about this rule so i didnt think it mattered........ fuck turn judges

[Rikyell]

Amazing!

P.S. Ehm, it's "Kosuke", not "Koske" (that's the pronunciation) =)

[superdave31]

i dont get it they dont look fast yet if i was next to him hed be beating me with me doing freestyle haha

[wdermid]

It looks like they have a beard when they come up for air haha

[MIKEHOWW]

kitajima is the man

[TheSweeJay]

@MIKEHOWW

who's the man?

[ghostzapper2006]

swam at the same meet as this guy down in Long Beach in december, about 6 heats later of course, but man was he fun to watch...so good.

[yourvideoisgay1231]

@ghostzapper2006 yeah are you talking about the senior meet there ??

[SinSwimmer97]

This is the most perfect & beautiful breaststroke I've ever seen.

This is wad I must do to improve my stroke.
