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!
One thing I do in warm-up for meets is a 400 alternating free and ***. I do the free to relax my mind and loosen my shoulders(and because my attention span isn't long enough to concetrate on more than a 50 in warm-up.) The *** 50's I work on DPS,trying to take one less stroke than the prior 50 while keeping good form.
