It helps a lot. Thank you. 😊 I learned freestyle at school, but never practiced it since then. In October at 43 years I will take freestyle swimming lessons for adults again. Hope it will be fun and successful. Greetings from Bavaria
OMG. You have the best step by step explanations ever. It really opens my eyes. Most RUclips instructions and explanations are very vague on these little things. Everyone knows that BR is the most challenging stroke. Thank you.
Hello and thank you! Yes, the majority of people swim breaststroke and do it absolutely wrong 😊. I am a woman who was taught in my 30-s by a professional. It was funny how my trainer shouted at me: "do not caress that water, pull it!", "feet together after the kick!" Yes, it is difficult at first to remember everything. It is like driving a car, but your brain processes it eventually.
I started swimming at 11 years old at school in the 1960s had a coach was in the school team .Very different then .I still swim now breastroke is my main stroke .My backstroke ok but my free style not 100% .I have osteoarthritis in both knees so difficult now im nearly 67 years old .
Thank you so much Swim Up for your tutorial. When the life guards at pool noticed my breast stroke technique improve, I shouted out SWIM UP tutorial on RUclips. I'm now gliding in the water.
For my whole life I've been doing this horrifically wrong, i always thought (and swear I was taught) you push your arms outwards. I take up so much space doing it I was thinking something must be wrong and you taught me. I'll have to see how I go but thank you.
Благодарю 👍 ! Хоть я и не знаю английский язык, но видео понятно, иллюстративно, выделены нюансы. Понравилось "что нельзя, что можно " на одном экране. Здоровья, Успехов, Процветания сотрудникам канала 🙏💐🎇 ! ! !
Oh my gosh I’ve been doing it wrong. I kept wondering why my head would not come out as high as the videos I watch of RUclips. I now see why. Thank you for this video. Can’t wait to try this in a few hours when I hit the pool
Thank you for the wonderful video! I love breaststroke! I have tried to keep the kicks narrow ever since I learned how to not pull my knees forward. I would very much appreciate a video on how to make sure the kicks are horizontal. When I do kick drill in streamline, I can feel that the kicks are more horizontal but bringing that over to swimming full stroke is still very challenging, especially right after the arm pull when the body rises up.
It's good to see that you're back, especially with this very informative video. Hope more content is coming from you guys! :) I like breaststroke, but found it one of the most energy-consuming stroke. One question I have: what's your opinion about stroke rate? Is it worth to do it faster, or is it better to glide more?
Thank you for your comment Peter! I recommend to count your arm strokes when swimming and aim to decrease amount of arm strokes. Also, it is important to remember that you do not need to glide too much :)
less than 1% of the people who swim this stroke actually swim it properly the majority turn it into a glorified doggie paddle My issue with this stroke is: I cant get the kick right
@@nuffzed2001 glorified doggy paddle? 😂 this is so funny. i love doggie paddling it tires you the most, gives you the most exercise in small swimming pools 😂 muscles work like crazy lmao
0:31 catch water ...little wider than shoulder width, fingers direct to the bottom 1:14 too long arm strokes increase water resist.(ensure arms don't go farther than shoulder) 2:26 kick drill
Breaststroke is so tricky. I can swim other 3 strokes perfectly. But I struggle with breaststroke. Plz upload detailed video how to correct our mistakes
I'm the opposite. I can swim breastroke properly but struggling with freestyle. But my son can swim freestyle and backstroke easily but not good in breastroke.
My coach asks me to join my knees before kicking and to open my legs wide for kicking. He haven't mentioned about anke twist while kicking and gliding. Thank you so much bro, for teaching all these.
Really liked this video that was very clear and good exercises. I have struggles with the kick and don't get enough force, great tutorial thank you for the tutorial ☺️🙏 something that could be added is the sequence, pull, kick and glide ☺️
I'm just figuring out breaststroke, and struggling with the kick quite a bit. It's like I do not simply generate enough power with my kick to propel myself forward. Right now, I'm working exclusively on the kick with kickboard on front, and although technique-wise I figured out the steps for a good kick, there is just not enough force out of my kicks. Maybe some specific dryland leg strengthening is needed.
Breaststroke might be technically very hard go learn/master but it is so much easier regarding the breathing, which is, imho, the hardest part. I can easily swim 1-2h non stop breaststroke but I can barely do it, when swimming freestyle.
I must say watching your videos has helped me improve my breastroke as a new swimmer. I now feel confident to swim at the deep end knowing my stroke is abit more efficient
For me it's not so much that the breaststroke technique is easier, it's that it feels easier and less claustrophobic to breathe during a breaststroke than a front crawl.
Thank you for your comment! You need to raise your back during the arm stroke and bring your hands together in front of your chest. It should help to raise from the water :)
I struggle with many things on the breastroke, but one of them is how much do i need to breathe in? I notice the more i breathe in, the more i exhale, i get tired fast.
The thing is, when I turn my feet out, my legs are completely apart from each other. One leg is to my butt, while the other is not even to my butt yet. And I can’t look back to see my position, which is the hard part, because I don’t know if I’m doing it right or not.
I struggle alot on breast, i have elite kick that give me speed,but with hands i simply don t understant, don t feel right, is very hard to me to get up from the water, usually from streamline when i get up water gets in my mouth , i just cannot shoot forward, i feel like i m pausing, any tips or ideas? And sometimes when i kick, one leg is slipping. Thank you!
I feel like my legs are basically a complete waste in breast stroke compared to the propulsion I get in freestyle kicking. Keeping my knees not wide during the BS also seems to make the propulsion even weaker. I'm just a beginner taking lessons so maybe I'll come back after a year of swimming and laugh at my comment.
We are back! How are you doing? :) What do you like more BREASTSTROKE or FREESTYLE? Let me know in the comments.
Welcome back! both
big help coach bless you

cool i have been swimming for 6 years and struglle with pushing myself back up
I started swimming at 11 years old at school in the 1960s had a coach was in the school team .Very different then .I still swim now breastroke is my main stroke .My backstroke ok but my free style not 100% .I have osteoarthritis in both knees so difficult now im nearly 67 years old .
😂😂😂😂 I’m going to remember this from now on when I’m swimming. “Do not caress the water, pull it”
This is surely one of the best videos on RUclips to learn breast stroke. A very clear explanation. Thanks for the video
Thank you for your comment! :)
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
im a beginner , thanks to this channel now im able to swim .

Best video I found. Especially concerning catch water!!! Breaststroke expert since 45years... Thanks!
Very good Video, especially with the inclusion of the separate movements on dry land. This is really helpful, thanks!

Omg I’ve been swimming breaststroke incorrectly this whole time
less than 1% of the people who swim this stroke actually swim it properly
the majority turn it into a glorified doggie paddle
My issue with this stroke is: I cant get the kick right
So do I hahaha
@@nuffzed2001 glorified doggy paddle? 😂 this is so funny. i love doggie paddling it tires you the most, gives you the most exercise in small swimming pools 😂 muscles work like crazy lmao
...have you managed to get the correct technique?
🤭 me too
0:31 catch water ...little wider than shoulder width, fingers direct to the bottom
1:14 too long arm strokes increase water resist.(ensure arms don't go farther than shoulder)
2:26 kick drill
What means 0:31 and 1:14 and 2:26 are this your breaststrocke time?
@@funny_athleteMenciona en lo que dice,seguido del tiempo en el video en sus minutos.y segundos.Dale ahí
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO , I DID IT FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, I M JUST LEARNING SWIMMING
My grandson told me that the channel I subscribed 30 years ago finally updated😂
Just kidding😂

@@WildlikeDestinationSAME!!!! I kick and kick and go nowhere 😢
@@janiceshepherd7752 Doing lots of mobility and strengthening exercises (especially targeting hamstrings and hips) is really helpful 😊
@@WildlikeDestination thanks 😌
The same. I have a very feminine soft kick that doesn't work 🙄
Good teaching,it need this video in the sea to practice it😊
It's great video. Thank you guys
it is a very detailed video thank you for guiding
exelent video, thanks for it
Welcome back
Thank you!
I like this stroke because you get a breath every stroke..but my back hurts sometimes if I do too much breaststroke. Why is my back hurting?
I have the same... It's because we have a weak core. We must train a lot on land to be effective in the water.
I don’t have problem with back, but have with legs-getting tired from kicking
Thanks!!
Very good
thanks
so amazing
For me... Breaststroke seems easier than freestyle, nice tips for improving the technique
Thank you verygood i like it
great explanation
Awesome trick
this is so helpful
Thanks so much this helped me so much
Great breakdown analysis 😊
Appreciate it!
Great tips!
Very nice.
What smart watch is good for swimming pools?
Breaststroke might be technically very hard go learn/master but it is so much easier regarding the breathing, which is, imho, the hardest part.
I can easily swim 1-2h non stop breaststroke but I can barely do it, when swimming freestyle.
great!😀
I find backstroke with frog kick most comfortable, breaatstroke a little faster and freestyle still the hardest
Thanks
I found your method is the Best way to teach breaststroke , subscribed😅
Thanks you
Thank you too!
thank you
I am curious why hands are downwards and his elbows are over the shoulders towards the chest. Isnt that creating drag?
Is it okay if I open my legs more wider before the kick?
good job bro
I must say watching your videos has helped me improve my breastroke as a new swimmer. I now feel confident to swim at the deep end knowing my stroke is abit more efficient
베스트 👍
Nice explanation
Thank you!
Wonderful demo and explanation for breaststroke. I will continue to practice until it’s done like your and infused into my muscle memory.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good
Thank you!
Спасибо
Good👍👍👍
very very....good
Thanks! :)
Posibilidad de que esta explicación. Se pueda traducir. Gracias

It's been a while 😅
Awesome video. Any idea what may make it challenging to get elevated and have the hands break the surface?
Thank you for your comment! You need to raise your back during the arm stroke and bring your hands together in front of your chest. It should help to raise from the water :)
@@SwimUp thank you very much 🥰
i have the same issue and still not sure the cause of it
Hi when backstroke lessons?
Do we have to exhale through our nose or mouth?
Through nose
I struggle with many things on the breastroke, but one of them is how much do i need to breathe in? I notice the more i breathe in, the more i exhale, i get tired fast.
I always get out of breath halfway in a 20m lenght pool. Can you help with correct breathing with this stroke💜
Me too 😢
Me too. Swimming is difficult and strenuous.
Also, do i need to keep my head horizontal/parallel to the floor? I seem to find it harder to exhale when doing that...
Muito bom, parabéns! Pena que não falo inglês para entender exatamente o que estava sendo explicado...! rs
Obrigado pelo seu comentário. Nosso aplicativo de natação SwimUp será traduzido em breve para português e espanhol. Fique ligado :)
How to swim fast any technique
The thing is, when I turn my feet out, my legs are completely apart from each other. One leg is to my butt, while the other is not even to my butt yet. And I can’t look back to see my position, which is the hard part, because I don’t know if I’m doing it right or not.
I try to not kick before my arms are out in front of me, but I find it so difficult.
Hello sir, I am your subscriber and I love your videos. Sir can you buy fins for me as a gift please.
Coll wow
I struggle alot on breast, i have elite kick that give me speed,but with hands i simply don t understant, don t feel right, is very hard to me to get up from the water, usually from streamline when i get up water gets in my mouth , i just cannot shoot forward, i feel like i m pausing, any tips or ideas? And sometimes when i kick, one leg is slipping. Thank you!

What???? People think breaststroke is easier? This is news to me
Kick movement is so hard . i still don’t get it.😁I almost learned 3mth
My chest doesn't come up after arms movement
0:13 so true
Hi
