Want to complete the 20-meter diving with ease?It's no longer just the world of underwater butterfly legs!Today we're going to dive into the details and highlights of the breaststroke stroke. Not only does it help your friends who are about to take the lifeguard exam, but it also provides you with a new swimming skill that will make your breaststroke stand out in the competition.
Common mistakes
First, let's look at a few examples of common mistakes. Many people do a breaststroke stroke with either their arms straight or to their sides, while the arms return create a lot of resistance, affecting speed and distance.
To address these issues, we'll jump right into the full analysis of the breaststroke stroke.
1.Departure streamlined
Whether it's a sidekick or a take-off, the initial phase should be optimally streamlined. Keep your body compact, keep your legs together, your arms close to your body, and your pointed toes and feet. Use the rapid propulsion of the sidekick or jump to glide your body like a needle.
When the glide slows down, then connect with the big stroke.
2.Analysis of the big arm stroke
If you want to have an efficient arm stroke, here are three details that should not be overlooked.
High elbows hold water. The big stroke is actually similar to an underwater stroke in the butterfly stroke, so you build a resistance plane with your elbow in your high hand and then use the resistance plane to push. If you can't find the feeling, you can do Xi by the pool.
Stroke push does not deviate.
During the stroke, the hand should always be under the shadow of the body and the stroke should be carried out in a straight line. The palms of the hands should not deviate to the sides of the body, nor should they be diagonally outward. Doing so ensures the longest stroke route and an upright forward direction of propulsion.
Accelerate the stroke. You can be gentle in the water holding stage, but after holding the water, you should quickly use force to pad and push to produce greater propulsion. Together, these three details make up an efficient big stroke that allows you to move faster and farther in a single stroke.
3.Analysis of gliding and arm return movements
At the end of the big stroke, use inertia to make a short slide. There's one small detail to note at this point: the shoulder-shrunken slide. At the end of the push, the shoulder buckle is narrowed to reduce resistance during the slide.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the position of the head, tucking the chin forward, and keeping the head and torso as a whole, so as to avoid excessive lifting or lowering of the head to cause unnecessary resistance.
Next is the key word for the return arm action: drag reduction. Many people experience too much resistance when returning to the arm, causing the movement that was originally moving forward to stop suddenly, as if the brakes were struck. In order to reduce the resistance of the return arm, there are two important points to grasp: the palm facing the body and the front return arm close to the body;At the same time, the elbows should be close to the sides of the body and not open.
These movements are all designed to keep the body "narrow" in the water, allowing for less resistance to the return arm.
4.Hands-leg articulation and timing of water discharge
Begin the leg tuck during the arm return, and when the arm return is over, the upper body returns to a streamlined shape and is ready to perform the leg press.
It is important to avoid starting to press the leg after the return of the arm, which can cause a break in the propulsion. Start your first paddling movement when you are about to get out of the water, and this dynamic connection is coherent.
Conclusion
The above is the details and key analysis of the breaststroke stroke. Mastering these techniques will allow you to complete a 20-meter dive in the water with ease. At the same time, good stroke skills are also the key to gaining an edge in the breaststroke.
