The Breaststroke Technique

Before starting the breaststroke, we must learn how to streamline. Streamline form is a swimming technique that is used underwater in every stroke. At the start of a race or on a turn, streamline form is used, usually along with a dolphin kick or flutter kick, to create the least amount of resistance to help the swimmer propel as far as they can.

 Breaststroke is a swimming stroke in which the arms are pushedforwards and then swept back in a circular movement, while the legs are tuckedin towards the body and then kicked out in a corresponding movement. It is the slowest of the four official styles in competitive swimming. The fastest breaststrokers can swim about 1.57 meters per second. Although it is the slowest of the four competitive strokes, it is commonly agreed that it is by far the most difficult to do correctly. It is also often the hardest to teach to rising swimmers after butterfly due to the importance of timing and the coordination to move the legs properly.
