How to swim: Breaststroke

Breaststroke is swum on the chest with no rotation of the torso. A breath is taken after every stroke. You come up out of the water to breathe. You are not only moving forward but also up and down when swimming breaststroke. The arms and legs move symmetrically together yet independently of each other. First the arms, then the legs. Breaststroke is a challenging stroke on competition level, but can also be swum at a slow speed, making it a popular recreational stroke.

Jus as I'd expected, I've been doing it completely wrong.

[@dinalsamarasinghe3758]

Mee too😅

[@panchikutty]

Same

[@sdn4424]

Yeah i copy cj (from gta sa) swim move and think it will make me swim fast 💀

[@jurbagarga1410]

@@sdn4424 🤣🤣🤣 same I just copy like walking styles from games, like I start to slouch and walk like Michael for some reason ☠️

[@tonytsoukkas1689]

Same!

[@sibyanthraper2]

This is the best Breast Stroke demonstration/explanation ever! 👌🤘 I have seen multiple short and long videos which couldn't give me clarity on this stroke. Even videos from reputed channels which were more than 20 minutes didn't take me anywhere. But this less than 4 minute video was all I needed to learn this stroke. I subscribed to this channel after seeing this video as I was thoroughly impressed. Heartfelt thanks to SwimGym team for putting up great quality content! Happy Swimming everyone! 😊

[@One.Zero.One101]

I agree. I've watched about 30 videos and this is the best explanation of the cycle and the timing.

[@ProjectPB01]

agreddddd

[@gy9969]

Yes, I agree it’s the best video tutorial on breast stroke thus far; Where the timing and technique is explained. Thanks!

[@wenqinwang5472]

Yeah

[@Ricocase]

Best video by far. Looks inefficient:
1. Pull as you breathe.
2. Pray, then push
3. Kick afterward.
Do this for butterfly please.

[@cece6574]

LMAO, I was trying to kick and pull at the same time 😭

[@msfatbooty718]

Same 😂

[@wmsstuff271]

I did this for 20 damn years. Only recently leaned it correctly.

[@rairai2k4]

Me too

[@Croft_GoldenBow]

Same lol

[@erllama7596]

😂

[@farahlisa890]

Best technique videos. I am a swimmer 150 minutes weekly. Watching this videos to ensure my swimming technique benefited to the best by engaging the right muscle. My sport watch indicate that i am a medley swimmers with 100m each stroke. Love your videos

[@BeyondAverageSkilled]

I have no swimming experienxe but after watching this, i am ready to swim in the ocean. Wish me luck.

[@missmoon6624]

👍🏾🍀🤣

[@whotfisnate8731]

[@antony950425]

Still alive?

[@Duncan1999]

Good luck my guy

[@JohnDoe-pf3ue]

i think hes dead shark ate him

[@arnoldgarryug]

I love breaststroke. It introduced me to swimming in the deepend effortlessly in only 4 days. I can now comfortably swim in the deepend, float and go the full length of the swimming pool with just breaststroke.

[@snedunuri2946]

Definitely the best video out there. Cuts out all the BS "hello I'm so and so and I'm going to show you how easy blah blah blah" stuff. Also explains the *principle* behind each part of the stroke

[@iptashi]

02:49 “Pause for 2 seconds” most useful tip

[@colindunnill2359]

Excellent breaststroke demonstration. The best I've seen yet. Thank you

[@gregoryhill7965]

I agree with other comments, this is the best demonstration of breastroke technique I have found. A question I have is: I have felt that when recovering my legs the pressure of the water on the bottom of my feet (as they go upwards, with the toes a little lower than the heel) actually has a propulsive effect, as well as allowing the body to come out of the water more (because the feet going up pivots the body) but I have never seen this mentioned. I think I can see a little of this in the swimmer in this video.

[@jisooisluv_jennieislifeu7320]

Clearest demonstration and explaination

[@salvatorebilbili3608]

Beautiful demostration video! Thank you!

[@PrashanthDHegde]

Perfect video for learning or tuning up breaststroke. I have seen most videos but this 1 is the best!

[@Emmaseditss]

I’m having trouble with it because I have the thought of a butterfly kick and keep thinking I do the pull and kick at the same time but this video+my coach definitely helped me

[@smilechynwa]

the problem is my feet dont go any distance, just my hands. I probably have my feet placement wrong.

[@xoxo.b3ll3]

Thanks so much for making this video! 💖 I have swim tryouts today 😅 and I need help!

[@surafeltefera8006]

Wow🎉

[@HuongNguyen-st7tb]

Your swimming is very beautiful! Thank you very much!

[@tusharmalik87]

One of the best videos on breaststroke technique

[@read_to_me_a_book_with_samira]

This style of swimming is semi difficult but once you can do it, you will love it ❤

[@AstriLivingInChicago]

I am fixing my breast stroke skills; i feel more relaxed when swimming. Thanks for sharing this

[@natecole4486]

its my favourite....very very easy and i dont get tired

[@Shine-lp9xi]

Very clear, very good, now I just need more practice to finish 100m in 1:30

[@Prog4Prog]

Anyone else spent the last 20-30 years with your head permanently above the water line and your shoulders and neck rigid.
Yeeeeeep me too! 🤦‍♂️

[@yuts568]

I’m a competitive swimmer, and I still to this day struggle to swim breaststroke properly😂

[@janoffiy]

same with me lol😂

[@yasmeenn4332]

Amazing video thankyou!!!!!

[@Sylphadora]

So it’s stroke, kick, pause. A lot of people think the stroke and the kick happen at the same time.

[@jehucrawford5822]

I rlly hope this works for my lifeguard training and won’t make me tired

[@surafeltefera8006]

Wow,so cool😮😮😮😮

[@ahmedadly3689]

Cool. That's need a lot of training specially on breathing not to drink much water

[@Wanggyal-zc6bk]

My favorite

[@lukeatillo6954]

Thanks for sharing! ✨🙏💖😁✨

[@hayderabdulmaged5723]

This technic difference on butterfly technic. Please correct to me if I'm wrong

[@Ronniexfc24]

Am not an expert in swimming but i would like to try out this swimming breaststroke in a deep ocean

[@citoyenxy7959]

فيديو مفيد. شكرا لكم. تحياتي من المغرب.

[@Stavros_Meggos]

Hi. I find breaststroke is the most easy for me, considering that i have free and stress free breathing! i didn't know those parameters and i don't think it's difficult to fix! Thanks anyway. great video :)

[@JohnDoe-ob7es]

Thanks for the help

[@oscarmbeera3639]

How on earth do i find this the easiest of all?

[@chandugiri5638]

[@abena7826]

[@maxgluteus4263]

[@manfredchong2783]

Are your hands suppose to touch while extending out after the kick?

[@emilahmadli4682]

turns out my trainer did not tell me about the kick

[@ahmedbadrOuerfelli-rs1kw]

I'm just 13 years old and i swim 100 meter breaststroke within 1min and 10 seconds.
Is it Good?

[@umeshg17]

I was doing dolfin kick😅

[@TamNguyen-cy3ix]

the first swimming style I’d been taught at school was breaststroke. if it’d be the most challenging one, why is it taught first? realize I’ve been doing it wrongly and get tired quickly 😂

[@nancyzhang7668]

Awsome

[@aradx2941]

is a very easy

[@pablojimenez5736]

So, if the kik ad friction and low momentum, what about if use a butterfly kik instead?
Is this possible?

[@rozita3781]

I learnt it today and i'm pretty sure i wasn't doing it like this 🥲 no wonder couch was disappointed 🥲

[@dhananjayhumne8962]

The name breast stroke, hand movement, palms should touch chest/breast from side and then go forward

[@roseandrowich263]

Thanks

[@babachakole8231]

I was doing it all wrong....and my legs don't do as shown

[@slimduster5468]

I thought you do them both at the same time 🤣

[@ahmedtolba4359]

Very good effort ☺️👍

[@BethKnox32]

My hands are wrong and legs of course

[@yan2410]

I like it

[@WorldTravel_uz]

Thankyou

[@KyeKyeLFC]

I wanna learn this but I just worry too much what others will think when they see me learning it

How about head position. Where are eyes to focused in and out of water? I am old school and am now retraining myself with the dry back technique but I still struggle with not lifting shoulders out o the water enough

[@davidromero1373]

I don't know why I always feel like I'm sinking too deep in the water when I do it, any advice?

[@rajp3823]

Same with me

[@Shine-lp9xi]

Breast do sink more than other stroke, it's ok😊

[@gordonhom2948]

Special about me no one in are family
Can swim only

[@alicemaringa4351]

Jehovah reigns

[@lextacy2008]

Couldn't you just kick normally (freestyle) , but breast stroke arms? Seems too counter-intuitive

[@henriki8015]

Sure you could, but then it would not officially be breaststroke according to the rules. However, you can swim like that in freestyle, if you want to. The freestyle kick with breastroke arms is a good tempo drill though

[@michaeljacksonfan9008]

Because that is how you do it 😒

[@arkarmiller70]

I used to say that when I started swimming before haha. You will get used to breathing to ur side in freestyle. It's gonna be hard at first.

[@zmojofoot76]

I’ll promise you you’ll tire out less if you do breast stroke kick vs flutter

[@monicajenkins4687]

You can use breaststroke arms with dolphin kick legs (which I do quite frequently)...
