1. arm movement:
The arm movements of breaststroke are usually divided into two stages: pushing and rowing. In the water pushing stage, arms are straight forward at the same time, palms are outward and fingers are close together. At the same time, keep your arms straight and keep a certain distance from your body to reduce resistance. In the paddling stage, the arms are quickly separated, palms inward, and paddling backwards along the sides of the body until the arms are straight.
2. Leg movement:
The leg movement of breaststroke is mainly to push the body through the breaststroke pedal. The legs spread outward at the same time, then contract quickly to straighten them, and push water with thigh muscles when contracting. The strength and coordination of the legs are very important. It is necessary to maintain the balance and rhythm of the legs in order to provide enough motivation. At the same time, pay attention to coordinate the movements of legs and arms.
3. Breathing skills:
Correct breathing skills are very important in breaststroke. Usually, when paddling with your arms, your head should be low to the surface of the water. After paddling with your arms, you should raise your head and open your mouth to inhale. Then, when you push the water with your arms, you should lower your head to the surface of the water again and exhale. The timing and frequency of breathing should be coordinated with the movements of arms and legs to keep the body stable and breathe smoothly.
4. Body posture:
Correct body posture is very important for breaststroke. The body should be horizontal, the head should be in a straight line with the body and the neck should be relaxed. In the process of paddling and pedaling, keep your body stable and avoid too much shaking and swinging to reduce resistance. At the same time, we should insist on stretching and stretching to improve the efficiency and speed of swimming.
To sum up, correct breaststroke movements include correct arm movements, leg movements, breathing skills and body posture. By practicing and mastering skills, we can improve the efficiency and speed of breaststroke and reduce energy consumption and resistance. At the same time, we should pay attention to the balance and stability of the body to ensure smooth and comfortable swimming.
