 Hi guys, this is Christian from swim2fly.com. Today we're gonna learn how to swim breaststroke in three simple steps and one lesson. So the breaststroke is one of the strokes the more tricky on the coordination when you start to learn how to swim and when you are a beginner because it's all about symmetric movements and and pushing fast and relaxing and Usually is the stroke we will try to learn at the end when you can master the freestyle, the backstroke, the butterfly Then comes the breaststroke. If children is the more tricky strokes But some people are very natural with breaststroke, which is a good point. Okay, and the kicking are natural So this stroke is very different than the other strokes. You need to learn how to explode and glide and breathe and explode and glide and breathe When all your strokes are more in continuity, your breaststroke is not continuity. It's strong and glide, strong and glide Strong and glide. When all your strokes are more like I keep my poor all the time So the first step to learn how to swim breaststroke correctly and to learn how to glide like Superman When you do your breaststroke is to learn how to do the right kicking on breaststroke. The frog kick A lot of people call this the frog kick because the frogs look like it So you're gonna learn how to kick with your feet on the side And close your legs at the end So be careful the breaststroke kick is not like a kick and then after close And kick and then after close. It's a motion where you kick closing your feet together in the same time a bit like In one movement I kick and close in one movement instead of kicking closing Kicking closing. This is not the correct movement. We're gonna kick and close And kick and close and when you kick you need to expose and Kick and close. When you kick your heel. This is my finger Your heel here gonna push the water on the side. Your toes gonna be open When all your strokes your toes are flat here. You're gonna open your toes to keep with all Your feet on the side push the water on the side closing And finish with your legs straight and at the end. Okay, so the breaststroke here In practice My feet are flat at the beginning my knees Straighten my legs straighten I'm gonna be ready I Get my legs ready. I open my toes I get my heel ready I kick on the side pushing the water on my heel And then I close my feet at the end with my Toes flat again. You see my toes are flat. Don't stay hurt with your toes. It's flat So get ready open your toes kick and close your legs flat and kick and close And then when you close your weight because at that moment you glide and when you glide You need to keep the arrow position like this gliding position and again Kick and close. The kicking needs to be forward so you can kick faster And Get ready slowly Explode When you kick you have the power and And If you are in the water It will look like it I'm into the water here And I want to kick I'm going behind And And And Okay So remember when you kick you have the power when you close you need to glide your hand on the front Stay gliding. Okay. So step number one for the back to the breaststroke. Sorry We're gonna learn how to do the kick and close frog kick For five times non-stop with your hand gliding forward. Don't forget to blow your bubbles looking down at the bottom of the Butch and on the chest. Okay So learn breaststroke learn how to do the kicking Just gliding with your hand forward Arrow breaststroke Okay, you are a beginner. You are learning. So take it easy We practice again. Kick and Kick and For the breaststroke your hands are side by side on the surface. Okay Don't do like this people swim breaststroke like this. This is pointless When you swim breaststroke stretching forward You come and then at the end you open your hand and you stabilize here. Okay. Nobody swim breaststroke like this Kick kick kick you are here You come back here and then you stretch. Okay. So this step number two now Since you know how to kick and you know how to glide on breaststroke Is to learn How to do the same thing but every three Every third kick You're gonna learn how to breathe with your hand So when you want to breathe from breaststroke you need to double pull in the water with a little circle Your hands stay In front of your shoulders. Don't do a big circle behind This is not the law first of all when you learn from pitchers And then it's it's losing a lot of time and try to go up with your head when you start the pulling So you pull and you breathe in the same time You go back middle your elbows goes at the middle. Okay, and then you stretch Your body again when you stretch your body again look down in the water to go back in the arrow position So I pull a breathe Go back middle Stretch your hands forward go down with your hand breathe and go down Breathe and go down So the step number two is to be able to do this skill every third stroke. It's basically will be One frog kick two frog kick three frog kick Breathe and go down one frog kick two frog kick three frog kick Breathe and go down. Don't forget when you go down to blow your barbells chin on your chest Step number two. Let's practice two tree kick move your hand And go back. You cannot do freestyle kick in between. Remember one more time Number two for the breaststroke. Now, you know how to kick correctly. You know how to breathe at the end But now the real breaststroke is actually being able to kick and glide and move your hand every time So step number three learn how to kick and glide Breathe and repeat kick and glide breathe and repeat kick and glide The main common mistakes that I have seen all the time is called the kick And instead of gliding which is what you want. You want to glide They open their arms They kick open the arms. No When you open the arms, you lose your speed. You lose your profile position. You lose the correct posture When you kick you want to do your Superman You want to go forward Okay, so when you kick just glide with your hand forward. Don't open your hands. You open your hand after glide kick glide long time Then breathe And again kick and glide Then breathe don't kick and open and do Wrong mistakes when I'm back something which is not really very strong Breaststroke is all about kicking to look in the water and go forward Okay, when you kick you go forward your power comes from the legs The explosion of the kick gives you the power of gliding forward So please don't open your hand try to stretch forward. Okay, so we're gonna run the real breaststroke One kick and glide breathe One kick and glide breathe One kick and glide breathe Let's try as you can see when I kick I try to go forward I don't try to open And I take my time in my head. It's like kick and glide blow bubbles kick and glide blow bubbles Then when I feel I lose my speed then I pull again for the breathe. Okay one more time. All right, so This is the step number three to learn how to swim breaststroke Remember the breaststroke is all about gliding after the kicking no more opening for no reason your hand Try to feel the right sensation Try to remember then every time you kick what you want to do is to go forward When you have that sensation then you learn how to swim breaststroke correctly So I hope you enjoyed the lesson And if you want to catch up with us more and if you want to download the swimming method path Just visit this website swimfly.com.
