What are the precautions for breaststroke?

As people's desire for a healthy life becomes stronger and stronger, many people begin to do outdoor sports and some fitness exercises after study and work. Swimming is a very good fitness exercise, especially in summer. It can not only help us cool down and relieve the heat, but also effectively shape our body shape. Breaststroke is a common way of swimming. So, what are the precautions for breaststroke?

In breaststroke teaching, breathing is a difficult point in both teaching and learning. Before performing complete breaststroke coordination exercises, you must master the correct breathing method so that you can complete the inhalation process in a short period of time. The method is: exhale from small to large, gradually increase the exhalation volume (exhale through the mouth and nose at the same time), as soon as the mouth is exposed to the water, exhale all the air immediately and forcefully. Inhale quickly and deeply through the mouth, without pausing between exhalation and inhalation.

The pressure of water is much greater than that of air. Holding your breath and exhaling in water are not as easy or natural as on land. Students will adapt better if they practice on land first. The longer you hold your breath and exhale, the more helpful it will be for learning other movements later, but you have to practice slowly.

Summary of key points of breaststroke kick: slowly retract your legs while spreading them apart, turn your feet outward and aim at the water; push back hard to squeeze the water, straighten them and float for a while.

Common mistakes:

1. Pulling the legs in flat - the movement of the soles of the feet touching the water reduces the area of ​​the feet touching the water and the effect of the movement is not good.

2. Sticking out the buttocks - the thighs are pulled in too much and too hard, without pulling in the calves. Tip: Pull your calves in and bring your heels toward your buttocks, rather than your knees toward your stomach.

3. Turn over the feet - hook the toes, figuratively like Chaplin's posture of walking on his heels, stretching the feet, ballet feet.

It is not difficult to see that whether it is breaststroke or freestyle, we should do sufficient warm-up exercises before going into the water. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the choice of water depth. People who are just starting to learn freestyle should not try to go into too deep water. It is very easy to drown and put your life in danger, which goes against the original intention of our sport and the loss outweighs the gain.
