One of the main problems I have while swimming breaststroke is that I do a very wide kick. On this video I will show you some exercises I worked on to get better at kicking in breaststroke. The most common way fo practicing the kick is with a board. But I really don’t like this method because of the posture of the head and chest. This is not a natural swimming position. That is why I like kicking on my back even for breaststroke kick. Try this exercises and use your core to stay afloat and make sure your knees are not coming out of the surface too much. The next exercise is breaststroke with three kicks. After you do a normal breaststroke stroke just dive deeper with your hands and kick three times. This will help you to kick faster. If you don’t kick fast enough you will start going up to the surface. This will also help you find your balance. Use your core muscles to keep a good horizontal direction while you do this drill. Finally, what has helped me the most is putting a pull bouy between my legs and doing breaststroke kick like this. This is very useful because if you open your knees the pull bouy will fall off. You have no option but to kick in a narrow tube. You won’t be swimming like this during your normal breaststroke swim but sometimes it is good to exaggerate the movement to fix a mistake in your technique. Just look at my kick before and after I tried this kick. now the challenge is to do that drill often until it becomes natural to do a narrow kick, even during a swim meet.

It is possible to learn the flip turn in one day, and Marianna is the proof. She had never done a flip turn before and after just one hour of practice, now she can. Just like her you just need patience, practice and maybe a nose clip. As you probably know, the flip turn in freestyle helps you change directions quickly without having to slow down. This is a beginners guide on the fundamentals of a flip turn and we will go over more advanced tips on a future video. We will do this flip turn tutorial in three steps. *The first thing you need to know is that you need a good amount of air in your lungs to do the flip turn, for two reasons: you will blow out bubbles through your nose and you will push off the wall and move a few meters without breathing. First step - Flip So before going to the wall practice doing a flip turn in the middle of the pool. Take a good breath and pretend that you want to kiss your knees. So burry your head underwater while you bring your knees close to your chest. Remember that you need to blow bubbles through your nose while you are upside down or else water will enter your nose. You can also use a nose clip to learn the movement and that way you don’t have to worry about many things at once. Also to speed up the turn, use your arms to push you forward and then to push water down so you can speed up the turn. Do several front flips until you can do them in a straight line. Now before your body flips completely stretch yourself into a tight streamline. You will end face up. do that a few times. No to finish the movement twist your body after you are stretched out in a streamline so you end face down. Do that a few times so your body learns the movement. Step two - Landing. The next thing you need to master is getting your feet to the wall in the correct position. The correct position is a few inches underwater in line with your body. If you push with your feet on the surface you will aim down and you will push downwards. If your feet are too deep you will aim up and you will push right up to the surface. So practice approaching the wall from the flags or a few steps behind and flip when you see the line where the floor meets the wall. Don’t push off yet. We are your practicing the landing. Step three - Turn Now that you have mastered the landing is time to move on to the turn. Since you will end facing up you need to turn face down again. This is what you need to do: push off in a streamline while you twist your torso slightly. This will put you in the right position to do freestyle again!

Personally I don’t have asthma, so I did some research and asked my swimmer friends with asthma about this topic. Here is what I found. Welcome to skills n talents. If you don’t want to miss our next video about swimming endurance make sure to subscribe. Asthma affects a lot of people. Many of my teammates got into swimming because the doctor recommended the sport because of their asthma. It was found that in the 2008 about 25 percent of Olympic swimmers had verified asthma. In recent studies that I’ll link in the description they have studied the relationship between swimming and asthma. They indicate that swimming training is well-tolerated in children and adolescents with stable asthma, and increases lung function (moderate strength evidence) and cardio-pulmonary fitness (high strength evidence). If you are fit, asthma symptoms are less easily triggered than when you are unfit. But that comes with almost every sport. so why do doctors recommend swimming? Well, the symptoms are more likely to occur in dry cold weather and when the person overheats. So doctors hypothesized that warm humid conditions might reduce the risk of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and that swimming could help develop good breathing practices. However, on most studies I found they concluded that whether or not swimming is better than other forms of physical activity cannot be determined from their experiments . Further adequately powered trials with longer follow-up periods are needed to better assess the long-term benefits of swimming. However, as one of my friends with asthma told me “high levels of chlorine and enclosed swimming pools with inefficient air ventilation made training and competing extremely difficult.” From what I have gathered asthma needs to be treated on a case to case basis. “Be proactive and take asthma medications as directed to help prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. Keeping a quick-relief inhaler poolside is also advisable, in case you experience symptoms while swimming. Swimming is not a treatment for asthma, and medications should always be used as prescribed. Talk to your doctor before starting a new physical activity.” says Medical advisor: Shilpi Agarwal, M.D. But most importantly if you have asthma and love swimming remember that you can still reach high levels of competition. As four time olympic medalist Peter Vanderkaay said on an interview “Once I found the right long-term action plan, I was able to get where I am today. My doctor, parents, and I worked as a team so that I could continue training,” If you are looking for swimming workouts to develop your endurance we are offering exactly that.
