Hi all!
I am very greatful for all tips from all of you on how to avoid groin injuries from swimming breaststroke.:toohurt:
I am 37 years old and have been swimming masters now for 3,5 years after a 16 year long break from competitive swimming. I have recently (6 months ago) started to train breaststroke more seriously than before (did IM and fly in the past) but noticed that I was more competitive on the breaststroke than on the other strokes and thought I would give it a go.
My times from last year are 31.2 seconds on 50m *** and 1.09.1 on 100m...I believe I have good potential to lower those times considerably, especially on 100 since I did those times without any previous breaststroke training at all....if I just could get rid of those groin injuries that is...
I train 5-7 swimming practices a week and 1-3 weightlifting practices a week.
All tips are highly appreciated!:notworthy:
Thx!

no no no.....
i don't mean do that in a race.
it's a breaststroke drill that I use instead of breaststroke kick during practice when my knees hurt.
both butterfly and breaststroke has a curve that is started with the pressing of the chest underwater. practicing it with dolphin like form will help you glide and actually accelerate underwater after your kick because you are riding part of your own wave.
