Stussy told me to swim with a tennis ball under my chin to get used to not moving.
anyone else tried this? Or hae other drills and a set for such?
I was just gong to do some streamline, turns and pull outs work and throw in 4x 50 with the tennis ball. Slow at first and try to add speed.
Then move into my regular BR work.
Thoughts?
Argh I need a clinic... LOL
I try to raise the hips just as I kick and then press my chest into the glide--to aim for "downhill"
I may delay my kick a touch longer and get those arms right out first.
You're getting a clinic right here, albeit a dry one.
I'm a horrible breaststroker but it's improving as a result of the advice you're recieving from the experts. I've been delaying the kick and it has made a difference. I try to keep my feet in contact with each other, legs straight and toes pointed until my hands have nearly finished the insweep. By doing this, I've found that my upper body is back in a streamline as I kick.
