Asking for feedback on my breaststroke arm technique
Former Member
Hey,
I've been trying to perfect my breaststroke arm techique. I shot this video of me swimming at moderate speed a few days ago and was wondering what you guys think of my progress so far:
Breaststroke arm technique, July 2010 on Vimeo
and a higher quality version available for download (file is 6,7MB):

I was not in my best shape at the time, but I don't think my usual stroke is very different from the one in the video.
Thanks!

I'm not a breaststroker but it looks nice and snappy to me.
I can't wait to read replies and get some hints.
Thanks!
You would be better served with a video shot from the side, as this will show your arm pull more clearly.
Also, it seems as though you are taking a relatively high number of strokes. I take 5-6 for 25y (when I use an u/w pull-down).
Thanks, I'll try to get another angle sometime :)
About the stroke count: yeah, even though this is meters and not yards my stroke count was higher than usual. I think that was focusing too much on the arms for the video and as a result my kick was weaker than usual... :bitching:
