Hello USMS, I need some help and pointers.
A little history: 4 years ago I took a beginning swimming lesson with a coach for 2 weeks. At first he tried to teached me front crawl but no matter how hard, I couldn't propel myself foward. Sometime later, he told me that my feet couldn't arch enough to do the kick. So with that, he went ahead and taught me breaststroke. After the lessons, I swam for fun for a few months than I stopped.
Now 4 years later, I am beginning to get back at it. I have been watching videos and reading stroke technique regarding the breaststroke and I am getting much better but I still need to get faster.
Now I have 2 questions for you guys
1. Advice me on stroke technique and drills to strengthen and fasten my breaststroke
2. Are there anyway I can make my feet arch enough so I do the front crawl kick?
Thanks
woohoo muppet! super idea, never even thought of that before...when I was younger they'd tell me to sit in front of the tv, on my ankles, bending them...but I never really did that regularly, because it just isn't natural lol! But, while I was reading through ppl's responses I tried this and well now my ankles definately are feeling the burn of a good stretch! Awesome! Thanks!
Yeah, works pretty good, eh? Knowing that, some doctor will get on here and ream me out for promoting something that isn't good.
I usually do some ankle stretches along with my regular wake-up stretches, but those are mostly 15 wax on's, 15 wax off's.
