Recently, I've been trying to stay under water longer and SDK more. But I notice my breakouts seem to be pretty sub-par on all strokes (especially *** where I practically come to a dead halt). Any tips for better breakouts on the start and turns? Also, on backstroke, when do you begin the transition from SDK-ing to flutter kicking before you surface?
Breaststroke breakout:don't lift your head on the first breath(don't ever lift your head in breaststroke,but it is especially tempting on the first breath when your body is screaming OXYGEN.) Start your first stroke before you break the surface,as long as you surface before the insweep you are legal. Practice just the turns and the breakouts or 12.5s,also work to make every turn and breakout in workout perfect.
