I’m starting swimming and your videos help me realize I knew absolutely nothing about the major strokes 😂 Thanks for putting this up
Glad we could help! Happy swimming :)
@@FaresKsebati me too
I’m 75. Swam competitive breaststroke as a kid for ten years. Now, my training is simply to have good technique, 30 labs, three days per week. I live in Florida so I can swim year round. 8 to 10 stroke count per lap. Swimming is keeping me off the couch and alive.
I am so happy 'cause just last weekend I participated in my first open water competition in the sea. Although it was only 800m I managed to win. It was really hard but your videos and the app really helped me a lot to accomplish this. Thanks a lot for the content you have shared so far.
You rock!! Thank you for sharing, glad we could help!
Awesome!
What’s the app called?

BEST VIDEO ON BREAST STROKE... All you need after this lecture is practice, re watch, practice and watch again. Thanks
I am pretty sure one of my biggest mistakes is wide kicks...thank you SO much for this video!! Can't wait to try out the drills tomorrow !
You're so welcome! Good luck and happy swimming!
Me too..going to try this out in the morning.
I also think i do wide kicks it .
My kicks don’t feel right.
I explained above !! REAL breaststroke is (was) sidewards. This style as as promoted is "Jumping stroke".
World championships and olympics should place it under the correct name and set APART from braststroke. The one is not better then the other, it's a completely different swimming style.
As if you would promote butterfly stroke ALSO as the better version of breaststroke. Complete nonsense. International swimming federations MUST take action, and re-install the original breaststroke as a contest style.
I am going to be 70 years old in a few months. I was a champion breaststroker as a kid, and I just got back in the water. Had to have a TKR so that I could do the breast stroke again! Great video.The kick is, indeed, much narrower than in 1960.
Very inspiring. I used to be a swimmer when I was younger too. Started to get back to training again at 42 and I noticed the same thing you did about the kick that seems to be much narrower now compared to when I was training earlier. :)
What is a TKR?
I'm still learning, but timing is definitely my biggest struggle!
Do the pause drill, it helps a lot.
just keep going, its the best.
Good luck, for me the kick was always a struggle but now its getting much better just belive in your self and you will achive your dreams💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Já conseguiu melhorar?
Fares, You are the best instructor out here on youtube. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep up the good work.
I've been learning swimming for a year and watching videos like this for the first time has brought my 50m breaststroke time from 1:50 to 1:20
Nice job! Way to work hard and think about technique!
Soooo excited I came across this video. Just started learning the breast stroke and the tips are fantastic. With the drills I can work on my own out side of classes. Thank you so much 💃🏽
I'm 37 and haven't swum for years. The flutter kicks + breast pull is the first style I do when I re-learn swimming. One day the lifeguard told me that's wrong move. So I practiced proper breaststroke with the right kicks. But I have always felt comfortable in that combo. So now I'm doing both after watching this with no guilt. 👍👍👍
You’re an amazing coach, such nuanced explanations. I always watch these before my swim sessions, thank you ☺️
You're so welcome! Happy swimming :)
Thank you, ive been strugeling with breast stroke for a few months bow and this video made a huge difference even my coach said i was much better i also droped 2 sec on my 50 breast, thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I've been doing breast stroke in my competitions but I never felt like I could go any faster than what I've always done, but these tips are going to help me so much! Especially just the order: pull kick glide.
Your explanation is very clear..it really helped me as a beginner..Big thank coach
Such a nice, structured Video! Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
Great video. It's good to see this technique from the bottom of the pool. I "learned" it from the pictures in the book long time ago but now I understand that in fact this style is much more complicated.
yesterday i turn 50 years old!!! if only I have this tips and techniques when I used to train swimming.... i probably hit olimpycs or at least panamerican games!! tks a lot!!
Love your videos! I'm training my 6 yr old now, and your videos definitely helpful for training me and the kids. THanks!!!
This is fantastic. New to swimming and it’s humbling how technique driven it is compared to road cycling.
Beautifully explained
I just found out I have a wide kick problem yesterday with my coach! And then this video is released today 🤯😏
You got this!
Keep working on it! You’ve got this!
Lets gooo! You can do it!
Go! Go! Go! You have it!
Thank you so much.
These tips helped me a lot.
Great advice, been swimming a long long time but, forgot about the double kick over the years...tried it today and boy it's quicker! Thank you!
I wish I'd seen this a few years ago. I learned by mistake to train Breast and Fly fast. Great video, with great drills!
Happy swimming!
I've just started improver lessons as an adult and I'm doing breast stroke next week. I'm really nervous about it and this tips have definitely helped, thank you. When I was at school ( a loooooong time ago) we were taught to do wide kicks, so I'm definitely going to remember that one
Wow. You explains so clear! Thanks for the tips, I will try to improve my breaststroke.
Very helpful, thanks
I've been swimming regularly (twice a week) since September last year (7months) and it's only this last month I've been brave enough to wear goggles. Now swimming is totally different for me and the time goes so quickly because I'm concentrating on breathing properly so I don't drown 😂. Before goggles I was just swimming breaststroke with my head above the water, after using goggles I was breathing every other stroke and putting my head under, but I knew I could improve.
I watched this video before I went today and I went from 34 lengths in 31 mins yesterday to 37 lengths in 32 mins today. Also my pace increased by 10 seconds per 100m. I felt slower but your video was playing in my head and I was concentrating on streamlining, pulling heels to butt, not too wide kick, breathing every pull and gliding. It felt so amazing, best swim ever (so far) ❤ thank you!!
This is really great information!
New subscriber! Breast has been my favorite stroke ever since I was in 4th grade and I’m in 9th grade right now. I noticed my technique was getting bad but now it’s gotten a lot better!
Welcome! Good luck with your breaststroke technique!
Thanks for the video.
I do that to, thanks for the tip
Thanks! This helped sooo much because I have a swim meet tomorrow
I've just taken up swimming again. I'm 42 and haven't swam since I was 10. This video is soooo helpful. Thanks!
Thank! So helpful
Woah, fantastic! An older swimmer I am, and can still keep up with younger folk easily because of my technique...but boy, you've taught me things regarding technique that I never knew!
Thank you for leading us
Great tips :D Also struggeling with the pull, hard to train it
You can do it!
Excellent Drills❤❤
Thanks, be happy.
Thanks very much!
Like your explanation is understandable
This video is one of the very good descriptive videos with drills. Helping me a lot. Great going team 👍
Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming :)
Very useful and didactic, thanks
These videos have really helped me! I struggle with the breaststroke and these videos break it down. Love drills.
Glad you like them, Toni! Happy swimming :)
I adore this channel 😍 and I am start to learn swimming ❤
Very analytic, logical, and educational. Thanks for your time and effort. Very helpful!
Happy swimming Hannah!
Very interesting. Will try this today. I am a terrible breaststroker as I am pigeon toed (and for some reason that my parents don't remember I had braces on my legs when baby) and seem to go nowhere when kicking breast.
Thanks alot u helped me improve in my freestyle swimming Tips
Happy to hear that!
Thanks this really helps me !!! Getting back into swimming. Really needed theee reminder
You're so welcome! Good luck and happy swimming :)
Your channel is my fave swimming coaching channel on TH-cam! Would love to hear you teach water treading/egg beater/etc in deep water. Also what a swimmer does if say they choke on water in the deep end while breathing during a stroke. I have learnt swimming in the past 2-3 months and my freestyle (thanks to you!) is quite stable and I can do quite a few laps in the shallow end. But once in a while I choke while taking a breath in from my mouth, so how does a swimmer recover in such moments in the deep end? Anyway thanks for your amazing content. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Fares, the 1 pull-2 kicks drill is definitely one of the best drill ever especially when I have a stiff back, as I am relatively new to swimming. Thanks for your teaching, It would be awesome to learn from u in person 1 day :D
I like ur tips and drill hints. I'm a coach who is always looking to improve my coaching to help my team swimmers ☺️
Happy to help! The swimming community is a great place to share coaching ideas :)
Thanks for video
Great instruction. Thank you, Fares.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy swimming!
Ok truly, I can't Wait to get in the water and try these!!!
Thanks for the tips. Sure will use them tomorrow.
Great to hear - let us know how it goes! Happy swimming!
My daughter is doing swim team and these videos really help her👍!
Thank you for the videos they put a lot of sense in how to swim correctly . I have downloaded the myswimpro , but I don't see the free version only a free trial after which you have to pay . so either I downloaded the wrong one or there is no such thing as a free lunch ... Thanks 🙂
Thank you for video. I’m a beginner and some dope at the pool was loudly criticizing my swim stroke and just being mean. Pull kick glide - easy to remember thank u so much
Don't listen to the haters! Keep it up and happy swimming :)
Excellent information - thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming!
You are amazing! I have learned so much from your thank you so much for the very informative videos!
You are so welcome! Happy swimming, Api :)
Thank you so much! I am not very good at the timing in breaststroke but since I watched this video I can't wait to try out at my swimming lesson!
You got this! Have fun and happy swimming :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all these aspects of the backstroke. I need to pass a swimming test and I will definitely be using your advices, starting tomorrow!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck and happy swimming :)
@@FaresKsebati Thank you! 😊
Definitely trying these drills thanks! 😊
No problem! Happy swimming!
Thanks a lot! I'm so close to beating my club record and my last chance is next week and this will help a heap, wish me luck!
PS. I'm subscribing too, and if you see this I think you should too.
Coach, I’m learning swimming now and breaststroke is what I’m learning now! But no luck! My body just keep sinking! I’m going to try this based on your advice in this video!
Tried something new and helped a lot.
Add on a dolphin kick staying in glide after first kick. It finally got me into feeling the dolphin kick, which I try to learn, and the glide of breaststroke gets longer.
(Only 3 months into swimming regularly, have no coach or course)
Thanks coach
I’ve never tried the butterfly. Been swimming freestyle consistently for about 8 weeks at the pool & ready to learn something new. Butterfly’s a bit intimidating so I appreciate your vids with great explanations. (& drawings lol). I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
Good luck! It's a challenging and fun learning process :)
Dear Fares
Thank you for your analytical and motivating presentation. I am a lifeguard instructor from Austria and I was able to use a lot of your exercises to train our lifesavers. thank you very much
best regards
Markus 🏊♂️👉🔝🙂
Thanks🙏
very informative and useful
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, this is very useful. I think my childhood lessons must have been good because I do some of these things already, I'm here to check I haven't picked up bad habits since getting back in the pool after a few years out and I'm happy with my timing and arms. I'm sure I was taught a wider kick, but looking forward to trying it with this technique in mind! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful, Susan! Keep up the great work and happy swimming :)
I have a regional meet this weekend and this is definitely gonna help me get to the finals
We believe in you!
Thank u X the info! I wonder if it only comes to velocity? I aim to swim easy and relax, but cannot find videos about that 🤔
Tanks Ferry good Coach❤
Thanks sir
Helpful!
EVeryone should watch your vlog： My Swim Pro! So much useful tips and saves lives!
useful, something I really did not know
Excellent explanation, keep it doing the way you do.
Glad you liked it!
Happy swimming!
You are the best teacher ever 👍🏻
Glad you think so!
I'm just getting into shape again and found that I love to swim breaststroke. This video helped me so much (especially the vertical elbow and wide kick). The stuff I've learned makes me enjoy swimming breaststroke even more. Thanks for the coaching.
I think that's my problem too. I was a lifeguartips d when I was in highschool. I'm now 35 and a mom of 5. I'm not sure if I can do this 300 anymore. I really want a lifeguard job again. I'm going to go practice with these
Tips tonight. My pretest is tommow. I think these tips will help. Thanks for sharing!
A couple years ago, my old coach had me swim breaststroke with a pool buoy. I don’t know if this was the best way, but in narrowed down my kick and made me faster so...
6:20 Thank you!!!
Just found this mistake in my style because of you!
Thank you so much....
Great information
Glad you liked it!
Ive always been a breastroker
34 sec 50m
1:16 100m
These were my pb's as a 15 year old 40 years ago
Ive recently got back in the pool as a masters swimmer
My masters pb's are
40 sec 50m
1:29 100m
Ive been doing many of these drills aswell as endurance sets
My kick and pull and glide are really good at a lower speed and stroke rate
As soon as i try to race my stroke rate goes sky high and my technique falls apart
I will try the pull with freestyle kick as i havent done that
I want to knock off another few secs for my 50 and get fown close to 1:20 for my 100
Great breastroke tutorial
Cheers 👍
That's actually really good my PB is 39 in 50 breast and 1:20 in 100 do u do short course or long course
@@williamrithaler4051
Those are my long course pb's both my pb's as a kid and my masters times
I also do interval splits aswell
Push off the wall and go flat out for 25 m
Rest for 30 seconds and repeat
Cumulative total for that minus the rest part for the 100m is sub 1:20
Not too bad for an old fella
@@barefootbeachrunner9498 oh cool I'm 18 and had my first meet today in 2 years

Excellent

Weve had very little training and competition lately
We are constantly under a revolving door of lockdowns here in Australia
All of our gyms and pools are regularly shut down so i can do my land based private training and running but not much swimming unfortunately
@@barefootbeachrunner9498 oh yea cases have gone down a lot in Canada and most people are vaccinated so restrictions have been lifted a lot
I go to Bolles, and I just realized I am a Breastroke but I didn’t know this in detail! Amazing!
Glad it was helpful, Gael! Happy swimming :)
I heard where practicing the brest stroke pull with closed fists helps to find the correct feeling of pull from the forearms.....I love it..😊
תודה!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I have a meeet today and one of my events is a 50 breaststroke
Good luck and happy swimming!
Interesting, I was a water polo player in childhood. I find when I go to the swimming pool something new every time. I have a big respect for profesional swimmers. Thank you for what
sharing this tips to us Youtobers.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this. I am a new beginning starting to swim, my training coach don't really have time to explain to us all those techniques. I am grateful to find this Video. Please I am having difficulty to swim on my belly and the same time kicking my legs. However I swim better on my back. Do you have more videos? How a great day. Greatings from Europe.
Hi Rosemary! You’ve come to the right place - we have several playlists of instructional videos! Try using equipment like a snorkel or a kick board
I was making mistakes no. 2,4,5.
Thanks for the help🙂
Happy to help - good luck and happy swimming :)
I'm a swim instructor and have been watching these videos to help one of my kids who has been struggling with her breast stroke- I was hoping to find better wording or focused training techniques which I did find here!
After watching quite a few of these, this is the best tip video I have seen so far. Thank you!!
Sometimes just a change of phrase works like a charm! Glad you enjoyed and happy swimming!
Thank you guys this channel is amazing
Really appreciate that! Happy swimming!
