The Breaststroke technique is a classic swimming stroke, also known as the hardest to master. It's performed by lying face down in the water, extending your arms in front of the head, pulling your arms back under the surface of the water, and then perform a frog kick.
Step-by-step guide to learn breaststroke swimming technique for beginners.
To start learning your breaststroke swimming, stand in the water, board, arms stretched forward and legs stretched back, head in the water. This "board" position is called the "slip" position.

When the hands meet at the chin, cross the circle with your hands to find your initial position.To learn gradually, you can train by keeping your feet on the ground.
Now here too imagine a circle. This time its a bigger circle extending from the bottom of your buttocks to your heels.The movement begins with outstretched legs, stuck heels, fan-shaped feet and toes towards the outside (duck-like). First, cross the circle with your heels. For this, we go back on the heels to the bottom (be careful it is not the knees that go back to the navel but the heels that go back to the buttocks). Then look for each outside so that your heels follow the imaginary circle, then push to return to your original position by following the shape of the circle.
It is the air cycle that includes inspiration followed by expiration. During the arm cycle, help them to lift your head, take air and plunge back by placing your arms in the initial position. Then, enjoy the thrust with your legs to exhale the air you just inhaled.Remember to respect this sequence, it will allow you to renew the air constantly during your swim and so not to run out of breath.The movement of arms and legs is ok?
