Want to learn breaststroke quickly? Here are 3 simple steps to master the kick, arms, and breathing. Step 1: The kick. Heels to your butt, flex your feet, kick out, snap together. In, out, kick, snap. You can practice this holding onto a wall at any pool until the rhythm feels automatic, make sure when you snap together at the end only your toes and maybe feet touch. If your entire leg comes together you’ll sink (try it). Step 2: The arms. Scoop, squeeze, shoot out. Scoop the water toward you, squeeze your arms in tight to your chest, then shoot your hands straight out front into a glide. Keep the scoop small, your hands shouldn’t pull past your shoulders. Make sure to shoot out quickly and glide (important). Step 3: The breathing. As you scoop, lift your head up to breathe. Make sure your eyes look completely forward. As you shoot out, put your head back down. Head down but chin doesn’t need to touch your chest. Scoop, breathe, shoot, head down. The breath rides the natural lift from your arms, so you never have to force it. Put all three together and that’s the whole stroke. Save this for your next swim! #swim #swimlessons #swimmingtips #learntoswim #swimcoach - @crown.swimacademy
