I guess Jeff and Carrie and Allen will have to answer this since there are a lot of non-breaststrokers out there.:wave:
The fastest breaststroker on our team always does breaststroke fist drill in meet warmups to find his stroke and ensure a good swim. I've tried it and think it's a good drill, but it doesn't seem to be the predictor of a great day for me that it is for him. Does anyone else have something they rely on that I might steal? Breaststroke is such a finesse stroke that it would be nice to have something to help everything click in even when I'm nervous. Thanks for any wisdom in advance!
Underwater breaststroke helps you find the trouble drag spots.
A good drill is two regular strokes, then two strokes underwater, with the same hand speed, keeping your head down.
Also, try doing a 10-15 yard sprint underwater using only your arms. Legs can do a slight kick.
