Breaststroke kick while body rested on the poolside,legs in the water

 

The breaststroke kick drill where you’re resting your upper body on the poolside while your legs are in the water. This is a common drill used in swimming to isolate and focus on the leg movement of the breaststroke kick without the added complexity of coordinating it with the arm movements.

To perform this drill:

Position Yourself:

Resting your upper body on the poolside while your legs are in the water.

Leg Position:

Your legs should be extended straight back in the water, with your feet close together and toes pointed.

Breaststroke Kick:

Initiate the breaststroke kick by bending your knees slightly and bringing your heels toward your buttocks. Then, quickly extend your legs outward and kick them together in a circular motion. As you kick, focus on keeping your knees close together and your feet turned outward to generate propulsion.

Repetition:

Practice the breaststroke kick motion repeatedly, focusing on generating power from your thighs and hips while maintaining proper form with your legs.

Breathing:

Since your upper body is out of the water, you can breathe freely during this drill.

Duration:

You can perform this drill for a specific duration or number of repetitions before resting and repeating.

This drill helps swimmers develop a strong and efficient breaststroke kick by isolating the leg movement and allowing for focused practice. Remember to maintain proper body alignment and form throughout the drill for the best results.
