Breaststroke is a very popular form of swimming, which originated in our country and is widely loved for its simple and easy to learn movements. Proper breaststroke hand-foot coordination techniques are essential to improve swimming efficiency and enjoy swimming. Below I will introduce you to the correct breaststroke hand and foot coordination:
1.Leg movements:
The leg movements are mainly regular and regular kicking and clamping movements.
First, tuck your legs so that your knees are close to your chest and your toes are straight.
Then, push back firmly to catch the water, keeping your knees straight and your toes hooked upwards.
Then, slow down your grip and let your legs relax and let your body glide through the water.
Finally, repeat the above action.
2.Arm movements:
The stroke of the arm is an important propulsion force in breaststroke**.
To start, keep your hands naturally straight and reach forward into the water.
Stroke your hands back until your shoulders are almost fully turned.
Then, push your hands forward in the water until they are fully straight.
The moment your arms leave the water, you should relax your arms and prepare for your next paddling cycle.
3.Breath fit:
Breathe during the relaxed gliding phase of the leg movement.
Turn your head, open your mouth, and inhale quickly above the water.
Then, the head returns to the water, the mouth is tightly closed, and the next cycle of action begins.
4.Overall coordination:
Hands and feet should be coordinated, and the force of the leg clamp should match the force of the arm stroke.
At the beginning of each movement, there should be obvious preparatory movements to ensure the fluidity of the movements.
The coordination of breathing and movement should achieve a natural sense of rhythm, so as to avoid interrupting the coherence of the movement due to breathing.
In practical exercises, it is recommended to do it under the guidance of a professional instructor, so that mistakes in the movements can be corrected in time and the correct techniques can be mastered faster. In addition, teaching more and reading related books can also help improve breaststroke hand and foot coordination skills. With constant practice and reflection, you will gradually improve and enjoy swimming.
