This week in the Coach's Corner we are going over Breaststroke with Olympian Dan Kutler. The footage of this video isn't great, however, I think it's good enough and is offset by the excellent explanation that Mr. Kutler provides throughout the video.
Be sure to pay close attention to the underwater pullout between the 00:48 mark and the 01:45 mark. I wish there was some underwater footage of this portion of the stroke, however, I found another short clip that demonstrates exactly what he is talking about here.
One other item that I found to be quite impressive is the fact that 50% of your power in the kick comes from the last 6 inches! This is why it is so important to finish that kick and squeeze those legs together.
I hope you enjoy this video and learn a thing or two to try at your next practice.
