Among the most easily distinguishable swimming strokes is the breaststroke. You can use it to glide lazily through the water on a hot summer day or you can use the explosive kicking movements to swim fast in races. The breastroke is also one of the most challenging for beginning swimmers to learn. Although it does take time and practice to learn the breastroke, once you have it down, you’ll be amazed by how much your other swimming skills have improved. Prior to attempting to learn this stroke, it is obviously crucial that you understand water safety techniques and have a grasp of basic swimming skills. You should not be afraid to submerge your face and/or body. You should understand the principles of rhythmic breathing. Anyone who has not mastered these skills is well advised to seek additional instruction from a local swimming resource.
It is never a bad thing to take fundamental swimming classes anyhow, as swimming is best learned while in the presence of a teacher. All instructors should have their certification through the American Red Cross or some other national authority on water safety. While they are generally more expensive, private swim lessons are best for learning the breastroke because your instructor will be able to devote his or her entire attention to your form, rather than having to watch for the safety and technique of other students at the same time.
I enjoyed learning the breastroke as an advanced beginning swimmer. It has become my most frequently used stroke. What follows is the way I learned this stroke. Please read the directions first and for safety purposes, try them out on the floor first, so that you are sure that you have a good firm grasp before trying it in the water. It’s generally best to learn the kick first, then move onto the arms. After you feel that you can do both comfortably, that’s when its time to combine the two.
Learning the breastroke kick
1. Lie prostrate on the floor or on a chair without arms, a bench, or a stool.
2. Bring both knees upwards to the chest.
3. For this step, envision a frog: Kick your legs out to each side as wide as you can then move them in an arc until they are together and straight behind you. These movements must be crisp and fluid.
4. Anyone experiencing difficulty with the kick should try standing while grasping a chair with the right hand. Then, draw the left knee upward to the chest and arc the knee in an outward direction. At this stage, your left knee should be pointing to the left. Hold steady, and then drop the leg back down. Repeat on the right side. Such movements should enable you to grow accustomed to the sideways opening of both legs. Eventually you will coordinate these movements.
The breastroke pull
5. While in the prostrate position over an armless chair, bench or stool, draw both hands into the chest in a prayer-like posture, with palms joined and thumbs pointing upward.
6. Keeping those palms together, you’ll need to extend your arms above your head, this is very similar to the exalted warrior pose, if you are familiar with yoga. Now you’ll hold this pose a moment so that you’ll be able to learn it, as this will be part of your glide when you actually do the breastroke.
7. Now you will turn your palms outward and away from each other. Rapidly and fluidly send the arms outward to each side.
8. As both arms move toward each side, raise the hands and forearms back up, returning to the prayer-like pose at the chest level.
Combination
9. Remain lying face down on the stool. Draw both legs and both hands as near to the chest area as you can as indicated above.
10. Kicking both legs in a frog-like movement, draw both hands upward into the previously mentioned exalted warrior pose.
11. Now that your legs have reached the prone position, long and straight out behind you, now hold slightly and bring your arms down and around as described above. Now, as your arms are moving downward, raise your head and chest slightly, to copy the movement you’ll require to be able to breath.
12. Draw both the hands and knees up to the chest area in order to prepare for the next sequence of movements. As I began to attempt the breastroke, I initially found it difficult to do the arm and leg movements simultaneously. That’s why my teacher had me first pretend on a stool. A good instructor will be able to assist you in mastering the necessary movements so that you will be prepared to try them in the water.
In the water
Now that you are familiar and comfortable with these movements on dry land, you’re now ready to try them out in a pool. You may consider doing a little warm up exercise, the standing leg exercise we did earlier would be great. That way, you will know what type of feeling to expect from the kicking movement once you enter the water.
13. Warm up with some floats and some freestyle or backstroke swimming until you feel loosened up and comfortable in the water.
14. Grab the side deck and work on your leg kicks.
15. Once you are ready, take a paddle board to help with kick practice: Begin by keeping your head above water. Then practice them with your face in the water and your arms extended above your head (similar to the exalted warrior pose described earlier.) This will help you feel the glide, the portion of the breastroke where you will get the most power.
16. Now that you are comfortable with the kick portion, your instructor ensures that your movements are correct, start practicing the arm movement while standing. As your arms swing down to your sides, raise your chest to practice taking a breath.
17. Once all of these moves have been mastered by you, it is time to shine and combine all of your new moves. This was difficult for me at the start, however, my instructor told me to imagine that I am a dolphin that is leaping out of the water. This is what aided me in coordinating my arm motions and my breathing as well.
The most difficult element of the breastroke is perfecting the timing. The glide is the portion of the stroke in which you move forward the most. The key is to glide in a forward direction with as much force as you can prior to beginning the next set of movements, because they tend to slow you down somewhat.
