I am a swim coach in Dubai, UAE, and I send this video to many of my swimmers' parents as additional practise at home to improve their kick. Thank you so much!
Excellent instructions buddy thanks to u and your daughter we followed it to a t and today at the pool my daughter nailed it .. keep u posted this week if she passes this is the only thing she needs to pass . Thanks from burnaby bc Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Chris Burton, For months I was thinking I will never be able to learn breaststroke. After watch your video, within a day I can do 50m isolated leg kick drills with kickboard. Am confident now after I master in my leg kick I will be able to do complete breaststroke comfortably. I will continue work on my ankle mobility and flexibility. Thanks again for your awesome video.
I have watched all your videos, but this is the one I stumbled on first. I took swimming lessons as a child with my last lessons around age ten, but I am an adult non swimmer even though I can back float and front float just fine. I have worked very hard to overcome my developed water phobia this year for the sake of my kids. My six year old can swim well enough to jump into the deep end and swim to the ladder in just two months of daily lessons. My three year old is fast catching up to my basic skills. Your videos are the best I have seen in explaining exactly why I am sinking, not moving forward effectively with freestyle, and couldn't tread water. Thank you! I never could do that frog kick, and now I understand why! I have one suggestion for you breath video for those of us plagued by relentless painful water up the nose. No one could explain to me how to stop it until this year when I read a blog that said to begin to make the "k" sound, but don't complete it. That motion closes the soft palate so you can identify it and notice how you can't breathe in or out of your nose when you do it. Knowing that really changed my face-in-water experience. I can almost do it without thinking about it now. I hope to see more videos!
cem büyükpilavcı Breaststroke Kick Drills (th-cam.com/video/v61nEYUb5_0/w-d-xo.html) is one of the first training videos that I ever put together. While some of my newer videos are probably more "professional" (Breaststroke Beginner Drills - th-cam.com/video/b08GpbAHYWw/w-d-xo.html), better video quality doesn't always translate into more views.
Thanks Chris: Good drills simply explained. I work with many young swimmers who struggle greatly with learning a legal breastroke kick. Everything you demonstrated was helpful, particularly hooking your feet around the front legs of a chair.
Love the wall drill and the knee tip, nice way to isolste each leg. & duck feet!! I am a swim teacher and i always would say " L feet" and point your toes outward, but this is definitely easier
Breaststroke is the toughest stroke to teach. Here are a couple of additional videos that might be helpful. Breaststroke - Beginner Drills: th-cam.com/video/b08GpbAHYWw/w-d-xo.html Breaststroke for Beginners: th-cam.com/video/QcxPUQu57uU/w-d-xo.html
I tried the chair leg drill with my littlest swimmers yesterday and showed their parents. It is great, not only because it gets the foot/ankle position correct, but the knees are also inside the width of the feet.
Thank you, Chris Burton! I was nervous about a 100 breaststroke because I wasn't that fast at it, but after I watched this video, I was confident! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the video my daughter washed it we practiced exactly what you did and it worked perfect Even in the pool.10 out of 10 Iooking forward for more videos
Thanks a lot for this man, I've been going crazy looking through videos for this one. Very simply laid out and full walk through for someone who ain't well versed in swimming like me.
You may be interested to know that I used to get my kids to walk one circuit of the pool doing the duck walk (33m pool) and it sure gave the parents a good laugh. I am 78 and can still turn out my toes in a straight line - in roller skating dance (I was a country champ) the waltz second movement is just that position (called a sau chau - spelling may be wrong) and also in figure skating it is used when changing direction on the 8. Great vid - well tell my latest kids to watch it - the group I now take are age groupers in the 8 - 10 yr and walking around the pool is just a bit much for them!!!!!! cheers
Моята треньорка редовно ме караше да правим тези движения. И до днес ставите на глезените ми са толкова гъвкави и силни , че мога да стоя на външните ръбове на стъпалата си и даже да скачам трупешката на тях със стъпала събрани едно към друго без да си повредя ставите на глезените. Великолепно упражнение
Great vid, very helpful. I've struggled all my life with the breaststroke kicking action. It just feels really alien to me. I'll try these exercises and I'm sure they'll help. Thanks very much !!
I have just started learning swimming just two weeks back but i had told my trainer to leave this stroke because i found it very hard. Thank tou so much for this video
Keep working at it. You'll get it. Breaststroke is the toughest stroke for me to teach. The kicking motion is vastly different than the other strokes, and the stroke requires a lot of timing.
Haha tnx dude im fast in all strokes except breastroke thats why in Every Individual Medley some of my enemies catch up on me haha tnx ill try this thank you 😁👏
LOved the instruction. Thanks so much. I think the kids learned it incorrectly to "bend the legs" right before the kick out. They seem to get into the kick position by bending their knees 'out' and getting the feet closer to the butt, and then kick out.Isnt this incorrect. The knees are almost together at hip width, bend 'up' not 'out' and then the kick originates at the knee and legs dont open wide from the hip. Power comes from the hip, but legs open out from the knee ? please correct me if I am understanding incorrectly.
usingLogic09 Back in the day of front crawl (as opposed to freestyle) and back crawl (as opposed to backstroke), you had "frog kick" and "whip kick". Both could be used with breaststroke, but over time it was determined that "whip kick" was more efficient. What you describe above, sounds more like "frog kick" where your knees are wider than your feet.
I have my adducters that hurt since im a kid im 16 now and i swim all the styles exept breastroke so thanks to your exercices i well try to start breastroke thx!

Perhaps the best drills for breast stroke on TH-cam at the moment! Way to go!
I have been looking for a video like this for weeks, THANK YOU!!!
Very innovative teaching methods. Conducted with amateur spirit, but more effective than most of the professional teaching materials.

I love the way you teach. My daughter after all this now understands.
Live this drill . I am a water safety instructor and love this I will use your techniques with my kids. They all point their toes
Fantastic and EXACTLY what I was looking for for My 9 car old son who has hit a ceiling on time drops due to his kick being too wide.
Great teaching. Thank you.
After all the Breastroke videos that I've watched, this is the first that gives workable land drills........and I'm 72......

The chair technique is so easy to understand. I think my kids will finally get it.

Great drills I'll have to go through them with my son. He's not quite got it yet and probably help me too as I never got it as a child

Looking how it is done in practice like this seems difficult but when under water the kicking comes naturally and perfectly.

Here is a suggestion - try doing it with scuba fins. You'll feel every bad angle acutely. But when you can do it with fins you're set.
This is kind of good
