Inverted breaststroke kick

Inverted breaststroke kick

Idea of the drill

It’s the best exercise for a weak breaststroke kick. Since it is a common mistake that the knees fall into the bottom and the legs cannot catch the water, therefore, when you do it on your back, it will be easier for the child to develop a balanced breaststroke kick with perfect body control.

1. Lie on your back with your arms straight above your head and start doing breaststroke kicks.
