Breaststroke Speed Drill

Vevey Natation

Quick video showing one of my athletes demonstrate the breaststroke speed drill. I had her use fins to give her more leverage but the goal would be to execute this drill the same way without fins.

I believe this is a good example of how this drill should look – she’s doing a good job staying on top and transferring the power from the hips into the upper body.
