I will be honest I have yet to complete this video. I watch it sitting at the pool. You would do better to just give the technique breaking it down for beginners and then do the bit about dos and donts. After 3 months of watching the arms bit gotta get back in mosquitoes
The video is wrong
@@johnsonzhang7315 shut up how about u start ur own channel to teach people the right way no need for comment. Those who can do those who can't sit back and disagree with what people are achieve. This gise actually help alot.

In high school this was my favorite stroke for it was easy and you always had an excuse to come up for air on each stroke 🤲🏼
Yeah and it isnt very tiring because all it is is just coordination.
A 30 seconds of freestyle get you more tired than 30 minutes of breaststorke.
Tbh I find it the hardest 😂
@@nerfwalid9568 lol if you’re not trying I guess. 200 breast is a killer event
@@swimfan752 maybe but still it does not make you as tired
A tip to make the video easier to understand, dont change camera angles in between the stroke. Show the complete stroke from one angle then switch to another angle.
I agree. The edit does look cool but from a pedagogical perspective it's confusing with the change of angle between a single stroke.
This is common sense. But "content makers" are more concerned with keeping your 3 second attention span than anything else
I personally find this one of the easiest strokes to do, but it is very difficult to master due to the timing needed to be really efficient with this stroke.
It's the easiest for me because you dont really run out of breath.
To me this is the most intuitive stroke of all. Breathing is effortless because the upward thrust of the pull phase naturally makes your head surface to take a breath.
My breaststroke was complimented today by another swimmer, which was a nice confidence boost after being out of swimming for over 5 years due to injury.
I recently learnt that I've been doing breaststroke all wrong my whole life! I've been putting my legs out kind of to the side instead of bringing my feet up to my butt. I have a lot to unlearn! This video has helped
I have been the same! I learnt this stroke when I was in primary school and I always got told to sort of bring my legs up together, nore like knees towards my stomach, then kick them out wide like into a circle and back. And my arms were hands together, back of hands touching, then push the water out and do a sort of circle type thing with my arms too. No wonder I've always been terrible at breast stroke 😂😂
It used to be my weakest stroke now it's my best one. I think putting a lot of effort on this stroke, indirectly improved my freestyle, butterfly and underwater turns. I must say that also my lungs capacity improved so lot.
niceee
I also struggle with breaststroke, but I find that it is a great tricep workout (if done correctly). I hope your swimming journey is going nicely :)
@@moragsharratt2691which workout can help to improve breaststroke? I am currently struggling in 2A and could not get improved for months
Fun fact; when sprinting, breaststroke -the granny stroke- actually requires the most strenght out of all the strokes, even fly.
No wonder Adam Peaty is so JACKED :d
Also the most demanding technique, I never really worked on it much growing up and it limited my ability in 200 & 400 medley ... As a masters swimmer I am actually faster at breastroke now. Sub 2:40 200m the last 2 years with a pb of 2:37 (25m pool) at age 41. Keeping the knees together got me from around 1:30 for 100m in the 400 medley to about 1:23 ... working on sub 1:20 to get me under 4:45.
@@realalbertan I love the 100 breaststroke, it's one of the few swimming events in which I'm better than average. That being said, I can't swim the 200 breaststroke at all. I find it weirdly difficult to pace in breaststroke, like I have 3 speeds, snails pace, moderate, and all out sprint.
This makes my younger self feel much better about coming 2nd in breast stroke but nothing in anything else haha. It’s the only stroke I can still do well after not swimming for over 10 years
I always had trouble synchronising my breathing with normal swimming. Switched to breast stroke about 10 years ago after a shoulder injury. love it, can swim for hours and my lungs no longer feel like they are going to explode
I woke up today and decided I want to do a triathlon despite having minimal swimming experience. Got the gear for my bike today and just reserved a swim lane for the morning - can’t wait to practice the tips you guys gave!
How did it go?
How did it go?
Same.
I think you'd prefer freestyle on triathlon :)
You will not make much progress with Breast stoke for Triathlon you need front crawl it is much faster
Man I’m about to start practice in like ten minutes, this is going to help so much. Subscribed and liked!
how did practice go?
One serious fact is missing from the vid: Timing the kick to the arm movement - WHEN to kick? I mean it is visible in the video "more or less", but a detailed instruction would be helpful.
Yeah. Actually I have just watched a video where they say you shouldn't kick the same time as you do the hand stroke. But here the swimmer does just that.
Pull, Kick, Glide
As you pull you don't need to kick but be ready to kick once you've done the pull and you'll be moving into your next pull when you're done with your kick if that makes sense 😅
Absolutely agree can you discuss the timing please.
kick as you're about to glide/recovery
this video helped a lot, I have never done breaststroke before and I have a swimming event for it in 3 weeks so this video helped a lot
Awesome, we're really glad we could help!
Love you video!!!
Grazie ragazzi..🙏🏽
Ciao ..
The Swiss swimmer 🇨🇭🇨🇭
Literally the best video I’ve seen! Holy moly! 10 out of 10!!!!!!
I have been checking up that the stroke I have used on and off over the years was okay. This is the best description I have seen!!!!
Bývam na Slovensku blízko krásneho jazera Zlaté piesky Bratislava s čistou vodou 1000 x 500 m a plávam celý rok pri teplotách vody od 5 stupňov do 30 stupňov a teplotách vzduchu od -5 stupňov do 38 stupňov. Už takmer 70 rokov stále vylepšujem svoj plavecký štýl a synchronizáciu pohybov a zodpovedá presne tomu, čo ste prezentovali vo videu. Plávajú tak aj moje deti i vnúčatá - efektívne a rýchlo. Vďaka za kvalitné video.
It helped my daughter a lot, thanks
Great to hear! thanks 🙌
Just wanted to say thank you. Been practising on improving my technique and I'm already more confident after just 2 swims!
my favorite stroke
Thank you for posting the video. I hope this will be helpful to my child.
Bro this looks so hard. I went to the public swimming pool for the first time in 5 years recently and instead of jumping or sliding like I used to I just wanted to swim for a change so here I am, cuz everyone in that pool was like a pro and I wanna become as good as them. Maybe I should ask them for tips as well x)
It isn't hard trust
The kick kills me. I don't go anywhere. I end up doing the dolphin kick the whole way just so I can get from one side to the other without drowning. Yeah, I'm a bad swimmer.
If you can do a dolphin kick I wouldn’t say you’re a bad swimmer 👌
Yeah, I still have a similar problem. It takes a lot of confidence to do the "proper" technique. I have a big problem simply with breathing and endurance. My heart and lungs need much more exercise.
i can do freestyle and backstroke and i have exactly the same problem as you. the kick is so weird to do for me, my legs always start sinking instantly whenever i try to do it.
SAME
i first practiced the kick motion on my bed lol i laid flat with my lower body hanging off the bed to get used to the kick motion and by the time i got in the water it was almost natural
As a fan of _Free! Iwatobi Swim Club,_ I now have a newfound respect for Nagisa, who specialises in this swim method. Tried it out this morning and my triceps, lats, and the backs of my thighs are hurting! Sucked the energy out of me, so I had to break it down in parts: arms, kick, and breathing. Thanks for the informative video! I'm certainly improving with your works.
this anime influenced us in a good way 😻 i started learning this week, i can do the frog style so well and the free style kinda (still idk how to take breath while doing it) my muscles are hurting but its still fun. i wanna learn all the methods :D
@@frauzehel6067 Free is my best stroke, followed by back, then breast, and butterfly is my weakest--mostly because I keep shoving water into my face and can't catch a breath. But I'm getting better with practice!
Same lol
That video is helpful. I'm training for a sprint triathlon. I'm a crap swimmer and have been struggling putting my head under the water (fear) and can only really swim breast stroke. Today I have been doing some practice and have conquered my fear and am putting my head under. I am going to watch your video a few more times and try and perfect my stroke. I'm worse at crawl and always time my breathing wrong. At least with this stroke I know when my head is above water
It's great to hear that you've overcome the fear! Congratulations! Do keep us updated on your progress! 😊🙌
@@gtn it's given me confidence. I've entered another sprint triathlon, so now one in April and one in August. Your videos are helpful.
@@gtn came back to let you know this video and some instruction from an experienced triathlete (my new girlfriend is my swim and cycle coach now ) I did my triathlon Sunday. The swim was in waves. I beat the two men I started with in my lane. Managed the swim a fraction behind them, overtook one on the bike and the other on the run. This technique helped me swim using less effort. Oh and I'm booked for three more sprint triathlons this year. Keep the videos coming
Thank you for the listen
Took me weeks to learn but my fav !!!!
i never was able to start with this technique. my legs were always sinking to the bottom even though I was trying to do everything like it should. i can do backstroke and freestyle. i might need to try it again with this video as it shows the technique pretty well.
I have done too many wrong kicks in my life, this is not going to change... but the arm stroke might work. Looking forward to trying it.
This is the only stroke that comes naturally to me
Circa 3:23 “. . .cleared up the intricacies of the breaststroke . . .” Lol ! I treasure this channel, but in 3mins to accomplish the stated brings a smile to my face. Having typed this though, returning to this video after other, more in-depth instruction videos, made me appreciate this GTN’er on the breaststroke more. Additional drills for the kick please.
The tan lines 😂
Timing varies slightly from swimmer to swimmer, some videos tell you that you should start the kick phase once you have fully extended the arms, some like this one show that the swimmer starts the frog kick as soon as he's done with the pull. I've been revising my breaststroke technique and trying to find the optimal timing by starting the kick earlier (like in this video) or later, still I haven't understood which is better for me. I saw videos that have slightly different timing. If you watch breaststroke champions from underwater in slow motion (there are some videos out there) they don't have the exact same timing. Maybe it's personal.
Yes! everyone's body is different, and a point will be reached where each swimmer will have to decide what is right for him or her.
❤breast Stroke. Good lessons still I'm doing at age of 72+ years very comfortably.thanks a lot. I learnt swimming at age of 50 years and learnt many tricks from Dolphin.
My friends, my peers, and some of my family thinks I'm washed. I'm only 14 but I want to make it big, this video helped me, thank you!
thankyou so much i strugel onthis stroke
Glad we could help!
Tomorrow is my swimming contest😢 Thank you for teaching us how to do breast stroke :)
Very good lesson
Thanks for both of you😊💞🇵🇭🙏
Thanks for the video, I'd like to see a video tutorial on the sidestroke if that's alright
This one has always been the easiest for me, to the point where I feel like I'm doing something wrong since it should be tougher. Guess this one just works best with my body type.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED ME PASS MY SWIMMING TEST ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Thanks so much
I know nothing about swimming but came to watch this🙏
Thanks for breaking this swimming style into logical pieces, helps a lot in understanding the mechanics of this stroke, however since focusing on my leg work and starting to push harderI have started to encounter knee pain, so I had to move to the butterfly kick to ease the pain. Do you know what may cause that or how can I prevent that? It is annoying and it actually pushes me away from the breast stroke style. Any advice would be more than welcome! Thanks!
About to catch swimming again! Combining it with going to the gym! We got this, city bois!
Freestyle is my favourite strokes..❤🥰
Easy to learn hard to master
I have always struggles with breaststroke, my legs don’t do the movement
I have knock knees, which make running, and most things athletic, a real struggle, but the way my knees point inward makes breaststroke kick weirdly easy.
most people say it's really easy but for me it's pretty hard
Usually I do drills with just the kick using a kick board. I also imagine myself as a frog. Sometimes it's helpful to even just get out of the water, lean on something, stand on one leg, and practice the movement. Don't forget to squeeze your legs together!
Yeah me too 😭
Same
I'm a self taught swimmer after pretty much just being left alone in the pool a lot as a child (maybe not the safest thing but I survived). So I have no idea how these techniques work. I think i will try this the next time I go to a pool.thank you
Please share drills to coordinate hand and leg movements
I have a mandatory course in Phys Ed tommorow, thank you for making this, because I understand and agree with the importance of knowing how to swim, i don't like swimming and i don't do it often, hopefully this helps me.
Thanks
I struggle with this stroke as i tend to bend my neck to much upwards, I will try your advice in this video keep and straight as I can.. 👍
Terima kasih
I’m at the pool rn alone and I might as well learn now
Trying to learn this, good at freestyle and back stroke, but I always sucked at this. Thanks for the tips.
Just got interviewed to be a life guard so guess I should probably learn swimming techniques
amazing
thanks guys!!
i have a test of swimming in school and ur halping my:)
I’ve always considered swimming as my nemesis. i’ve never been a strong swimmer and for some odd reason when i’m in the pool my mind becomes obsessed with how fast or slow i am going. I love the breaststroke but can never seem to master the kick. Coordination of everything including breathing has always been a challenge. Realising now as i take to swimming again (not to be defeated) i can actually use aids to isolate and work on the movements. I think the dolphin kick with BS would really work for me! thanks 🙏
Great job
Well done
Hope to continue
Thank for sharing this video. ☺️
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful practical demonstration ❤🎉🎉🎉
this was good
Thank you very good demonstration
Tan line in point 😄
Thank you, because I go to swimming
Thx
Doing 1 small and big big butterfly on turn
Why is breaststroke a great alternative if you prominently swim freestyle?
Great video!
hello,my children learn swimming pool 😁
Breastroke is the best stroke for cardio and a full body workout. Swimming 60-80 lengths of breastroke 2 or 3 times a week is the main staple of my fitness routine. I have knock knees which make me prone to injuries when running, but make the leg kick in breaststroke come naturally to me.
I go to this swimming 🏊♀️ class ☺️
Soooo, I’ve never had professional swimming lessons and my biggest obstacle has always been and still is, holding my breath! I’m certainly not in denial that there’s a phobia even still at 49 y/o… I found you guys, because I realized day one (September 4th) of joining an athletic center, whatever kind of swim that I’m doing, it’s not symmetrical! 🤷🏽♀️😝 I’m whipping my muscles into shape for a trip next month and there’s snorkeling, surfing and scuba diving. I’ve NEVER done any of it, but I’ve always been curious, so I’m bringing in my 50th Birthday without limits - well, sort of!!! 🤣 Watching your video, mine is a breaststroke, but my head doesn’t submerge - although, I’m practicing holding my breath and going under. I’ll see if the lifeguards are allowed to give me pointers on what they see that I should correct. I’m swimming further, so that’s motivating. 👏🏽👏🏽
God damn it just finished my swim session :c
I have tried swimming breaststroke but can't bring my upper body out of the water, it is just my head that comes out. Please help.
Nice tips
I love this stroke but I am so slow with it. thank you
Thank you, very useful!
Awesome, thanks!! 🎉
Tomorrow im going to las vegas staying at mandalay bay and i really want to learn this when i get there
I noticed there is two different types of strokes, 1) the one mentioned in the video 2) tucking your legs outward instead of outward
what is the difference between those two strokes?
Got my lifeguard pre cert tomorrow. Gotta do this for 150 yards.
thank you ❤
I wanna swim I wanna swin right now!
Its unbelievable that so many people do this completely wrong, and when I tell them the right technique they start arguing...
Actually I have just watched a video where they say you shouldn't kick
the same time as you do the hand stroke. But here the swimmer does just
that.
Hi guys. Trying to get into swimming for cardio and weight loss because I have injuries to my knees and legs. I am a little confused on the timing of the kick to the stroke. Would you recommend I just master the freestyle first and eventual move on to the breaststroke?
the kick comes as you begin your arm recovery
freestyle requires less coordination between arms and legs
Think of pulling your arms and legs in at the same time. As your arms scoop around, your legs do too.
Nice make more videos❤
Thanks for the video how interesting
Thanks for watching!
Everytime I do this stroke, my body ends up standing up in the water, what am I doing wrong?
Don’t kick so low Rn your kicking down kick flat
Try the 1 pull 3 kick drill. Do one pull then while you kick focus on keeping your hips high in the water. Also, the higher you head comes up, the harder it is to keep higher hips, so try and keep it low as best you can. But the 1 pull 3 kick drill really helped me. Also the more flexible of a lower back you have, the easier it will be.
This is my favorite too. And IMO, the next most taxing after butterfly (especially at competitive effort). Since it’s very inefficient and momentum driven to propel forward at speed. I easily get my HR to my peak (170 ish) when doing it at best effort.
I wish you had shown more of whole body movement of the stroke where arms and feet move alternately. I swam this stroke for many years moving my arms and legs at the same time. Now I am trying to correct it but it is hard.
Thanks for leaving us your feedback! Maybe we can come back to breaststroke tips? 🏊🏻
@@gtnThat would we great!
(1) Is it a good exercise of the kick when you disable your hands by hold your palms joines together on your lumbar spine? (2) does the exhale technique matter? I prefer to exhale with my mouth loose and slightly open (like in those Mach acceleration movies) but not sure if that induces more drag. I find it more relaxing though.
I wonder if anyone has used breast or fly in an Ironman competition. That would be very impressive. November will be my first Ironman.
A lot of amateurs I know have. No pro that I know of
I will be doing my first half and swimming breaststroke.
I have managed to reduce my swim time for 1900mtrs down to 40 mins just using breast stroke. So I am planning to use it entirely for Dubai IM 70.3 in Feb
@@jatinmaharao6888 Dubai IM! That sounds wonderful!
Hello brother while kicking the breast stroke kick I am not able to go much far but my partners go much further
Super 🥰
