joints until the feet touch the buttocks.
Labor movement. After the preparatory movement, the working movement of the legs begins. At first, the legs slowly spread apart, and the feet smoothly turn outward. Then the legs are pushed away from the water with maximum force, i.e. the feet contract quickly and vigorously and propel the swimmer forward. In this case, the knees are symmetrically brought together in front of the swimmer's body.
Slip. After pushing off, the legs smoothly converge and continue moving forward until the moment when they must begin the preparatory movement again. At the same time, the shins, feet and toes approach the surface of the water, and the swimmer continues to move his arms.
Hand movements. The cycle of arm movements in breaststroke consists of two phases: the phase of bringing the arms forward and the phase of pushing with the arms.
Bringing your arms forward. During this phase, the swimmer smoothly extends his arms forward in front of his head. The arms are extended and brought together. Palms facing down. At the same time, the swimmer inhales.
Hand push. After inhaling, the swimmer begins to push the water with his hands. During this phase, the arms are slowly extended outward along the sides of the body until they are shoulder-width apart. Then the elbows bend and the arms smoothly contract, moving forward and upward. In this case, the hands are brought together again, and the palms are directed downward. The arm push ends when the arms are fully extended in front of the head and the swimmer exhales.
When performing breaststroke, it is very important to properly coordinate the movements of your legs and arms. In addition, it is necessary to correctly adjust the angles of attack of the body in order to achieve maximum efficiency of movements and minimal water resistance.
In conclusion, we can say that breaststroke is a universal swimming method that is used both in sports competitions and in applied swimming and rescue operations. It allows you to swim silently, cover long distances and effectively use the working movements of your legs when transporting objects. In addition, breaststroke requires a swimmer to have good coordination and endurance, which contributes to the development of physical qualities.
