Try This # 3  – Smart swimming the breaststroke

1. Experiment with softly RELEASING the feet into the frog position and turning the feet out

2. Then GO – actively push your feet back and squeeze your legs together and glide for 3 – 4 seconds. –

Notice 

• in the non-propulsive phase your hips knees and feet can be brought into balance
• in the Go phase the body is propelled forward
• And is much easier on the hips and the lower back

Enjoy!

🏊‍♂️Contrast this with actively pulling your feet in and pushing them straight back.
