Breaststroke

email hidden said:

Does anyone know any web resources on Breaststroke that they would
recommend as being good. For someone who doesn't really know the
stroke.

I notice that the "blue rinse" set use Breaststroke, but I find I move
very slowly and get tired, forcing me to revert to Front Crawl.

Since I swim frequently in a lake with extremely poor visibility, head-
up BS would be a useful skill.

Here is a good video...from YouTube in slow motion....

Get yourself some in-person instruction.

Stay away from breast stroke. It destroys the knees in the long term - it
should carry a health warning. In the short term it is inefficient (look at
all the records and your local pool), it uses up 3 body widths in the pool,
and only people who can't swim properly use it.

Try http://www.breaststroke.info/

Wayne hasn't updated his site in a while, but there's still some good
info there.
