How To Swim Perfect Breaststroke

If you struggle with breaststroke, your stroke timing might be to blame. Without proper timing, your breaststroke will fall apart, and you will find it really difficult to make it across the pool efficiently.

It’s helpful to break your breaststroke into three steps:

1. Pull: You’ll take a breath here as well. Focus on maintaining a high elbow catch and powering your arms forward!
2. Kick: Kick as your arms shoot forward into streamline. Maintain your momentum with a strong kick between pulls.
3. Glide: Spend a beat in streamline between each stroke to take advantage of the “glide.” How long you glide depends on your stroke tempo and the race you’re swimming. Swimmers racing the 200 breaststroke will glide more than swimmers racing the 50!

Every stroke, think “pull, kick, glide” to nail your timing! Watch this video for helpful tips!
