These tips are for swimmers who can complete quite a few lengths of breaststroke with arms and legs working in time with each other.
STEP ONE
To become a good competitive breaststroker you will need to undulate, which means moving the body up and down like a dolphin, as well as moving forwards through the water.
Practise lifting your chest and shoulders as you pull - almost like shrugging your shoulders - and then dive forwards into a streamlined position again. Increase the downwards kick of your legs and then make sure your legs come back to the surface for the streamlined stretch position
.
STEP TWO
To put everything together:
Circle the arms, squeeze the hands in and breathe in Whip the legs together and stretch the arms forwards Hold the body stretched and streamlined for one second
