Just started practicing breaststroke and already have a bunch of questions.
One - is your head supposed to be in one position only at all times, i.e. looking down or do you kinda raise it a bit when about to break the surface when finishing the pull-out and then lowering your chin again to look down when submerging again?I noticed after watching some videos that there is some slight movement of the head.Or am I wrong?
Two - how deep is it best to be when doing the underwater part(streamline part) of the breaststroke(not start or turns).
Three - what is the optimal stroke count for breaststroke for, say, 25-meter pool(I am 6'1'')
And finally - how is it best to train the breaststroke kick(sample drills would be appreciated)
Sorry if that is too many questions at once.
Thanks.
Drop your knees lower.
Sorry, I don't think that's what you want to do. You'll just create more drag with that "correction".
I believe you want to keep those knees within the "envelope" of the profile/silhouette your body is creating while moving through the water, not increase the size of the profile/silhouette.
Are you trying to say to increase the angle from your hips on down towards your feet?
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the format of the suggestion.
