hello Maddy, you want to improve your breastroke but you're only able to swim in 2 practices between now and Feb 25th, that's 11 DAYS! find a way to swim on your own on the days you can't make practice 5 or 6 times a week would be ideal you don't need to do much, here's a sample work out: 400 warm up kick br 200 easy, then 8 x 25 on 45 or 50 odds FAST evens EASY swim 8 x 25 concentrating on perfect form, then 8 x 25 odds fast evens easy rest 4 to 5 minutes 50 BR fast REALLY FAST 50 Br easy you could even warm up less do the best you can with what you have concentrate on pushing off harder and streamlining better to GLIDE further off each wall get a speedy suit you could also lift weights and do exercises watch youtubes of the best breastrokers and copy their technique y more www.usms.org/.../showpost.php I was wondering if someone could give me some tips on improving my breaststroke. I am currently 17 and I swim four times a week. I have a huge meet on February 25th, but unfortunately I will only be able to attend two practices until then. I currently have a 38.5 on my 50 yards breaststroke and 1:23.83 on my 100 yards breaststroke. Is there anything I can do (in or out of the water) to improve these times? Any tips or workouts would be appreciated. Thanks!
