Okay, so I last swam a meet in April, and have been working out alone exclusively. Not in great shape, but eager to get started again to officially launch my season. I'm signed up to compete at a meet at Mizzou, a SCM pool that's supposed to be very nice--haven't been there yet. Signed up for 7 events, but will probably bag one.
Here's my question. I have been enjoying throwing in wild card events that I have never swum before, and this time it's the 100 ***. Last night toward the end of my workout I tried to "sprint" 100 ***, and my legs cramped up like crazy at 75. Is there a trick to this? I'm mostly a sprinter in free and fly, and my breastroke is not very speedy. Have never swam 100 *** for time in my life.
Guidance from you breaststrokers out there?
And anybody headed to Columbia this weekend?
Good answer Paul.I think one of the most important things about the "new' breaststroke is the head.Your head should lift little if at all on the breathe.You breath by lifting your torso. You want to get your arms forward and streamlined with your head underwater before you get to the power part of your kick.
