Breaststroke and Free Style

Hi All. I recently started swimming with a masters team approximately 3 weeks ago. After the first few practices my coach informed me that I am a natural at swimming the breaststroke. However when I attempt to swim free style I feel like I am sinking/drowning. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what suggestions would you make to correct/lower the learning curve.

  • It sounds as if the coach looked at the "pigeon toe" stance and deduced that would be a great start for breaststroke kick.as far a "sinking" you need to work on a faster kick and more pull correction with the hands. Work with the coach for months to see if you improve.
