streamline it's more difficult it's more tiring the lazy way out is just doing floater breaststroke and if that's you that's perfectly fine just know if you want to take your swing to the next level you can get a better workout more performance if you train at speed and train your body line to ride high in the water this is a really important concept it applies for any type of swimming any type of sport actually but this is the most true in breaststroke and the drill that we're going to talk about in just a little bit really ties this all together so a drill that's specific to swimming breaststroke fast and with power intensity intention is freestyle kick with a breaststroke pull so you actually do a flutter kick and you really work on having an explosive high tempo catch out in front i recommend wearing fins for this i feel really gassed if i do this without fins with fins i also feel really tired but i'm able to get a little bit more more propulsion because i am a breaststroke swimmer that has a very strong kick so if i drop the kick and i go to freestyle kick which for me is not very strong i'm not going to go very fast so it dem it diminishes the drill just a little bit so make sure for these drills all of them you're well rested and you can execute on them in the best way possible so that is another uh mistake that a lot of swimmers make is just swimming slow gotta get out there go faster now here's a bonus for you guys another mistake is not having a plan just thinking that you're gonna get better at breaststroke because you watch this video is not enough you've gotta apply these drills you gotta have intention you've gotta follow a workout plan so if you are haven't already checked out the mystery pro app make sure you check it out we have workouts and training plans specific to every type of goal available for ios and android if you train on a team or you already write your own workouts whatever that's great too make sure you have intention don't waste your time time is the most important thing that you have you want to use it efficiently in the water if you're training i am if you're doing drills if you're doing breaststroke if you're doing any type of kicking you want to make sure you're thinking about these things and actually applying them to your workout to your training plan to your weekly progression so that way you're getting the most out of your time and you're making the progress towards your goals as quickly as possible now i know i alluded to my favorite swimming set that focuses on pretty much everything that we talked about now the set that i love in breaststroke is called countdown drill now the way this works you want to be in a NUMBER_TOKEN meter or NUMBER_TOKEN yard pool the length of the pool doesn't really matter but the numbers will end up playing into that depending on how long the pool is so you can do this in a NUMBER_TOKEN meter pool your numbers are just going to be a lot bigger so what you're going to do you're going to count how many strokes you take now you can do this with a pull out so meaning when you push off the wall you can do an underwater pullout or you can just
