Breaststroke relies heavily on timing. One drill we use here at The Race Club to help swimmers better understand the timing of breaststroke and improve their coupling within the stroke is the one fly kick one pull drill. This drill encourages swimmers to focus on the synchronization of their movements, enhancing overall stroke efficiency.

Breaststroke, Breaststroke, Breaststroke! What is important to becoming a fast breaststroke swimmer? First: how much propulsion do you get out of your kick? It’s the most kick-driven stroke! While not impossible, you’re going to have a hard time beating someone in a swim who’s a faster breaststroke kicker than you are. Second: Kick Cycle Time - are you able to load into that kick quickly? This determines how much ‘coupling energy’ you’ll be able to use from the slam of the head & press of the ch

Kick Down Breaststroke is a swim drill that allows you to work on several techniques. Whether it's the coupling motion of the head snapping down, a narrow kick or a tight streamline out front a coach can emphasize any of them to their swimmers in this drill. #swimisodes | The Race Club

A lot of swimmers kick too wide that slows down their tempo and increases frontal drag. We like to use the FINIS Swimming ankle strap above the knees to force a more narrow kick. | The Race Club

We had a blast with long time Race Club swimmer and National champ Matt Fallon. He's been coming to the Race Club since he was 15!

In swimming there is always a compromise between power and drag. Breaststroke kick is no exception. Instead of going for a big, wide and powerful kick you are faster using a quicker, snappier and more narrow kick in order to time the coupling motion of the head throw. We love to use the piston kick (aka egg beater) to learn how to kick fast with a pronated ankle. Over time you will develop the fast twitch muscles necessary to kick narrow with a high kick rate.

World-class breaststroker Nick Mahabir has rapidly ascended in the world rankings. Coming from a water polo background, Nick only began focusing on swimming when the COVID pandemic halted polo activities. His fresh perspective and unique approach to swimming have caught our attention, especially with his innovative swim drills and playful demeanor in the water. He integrates the egg beater kick, a technique commonly used in water polo, into his breaststroke swimming and kicking drills. We asked

Sneak peak at this week’s video subscription release on our website. Breaststroke is the only ‘stop and go’ stroke and requires not only powerful coupling motions but also tight streamline on both ends. We do this classic #swimdrill a little differently at the Race Club by using a hyperstreamline at first. This teaches the swimmer to tuck the chin and hyper extend the shoulders during the recovery that minimizes drag. Learn more by signing up for our video subscription exclusively on our website

Alternating Dolphin & Breaststroke Kick. Try this drill out! It almost forces the swimmer to use the afterburners (snapping feet together & up kicking) on each breaststroke kick. Try it with a tempo trainer set to a 70 stroke rate to help improve your kick cycle time! Learning when/how far to stop drawing the heels up gets a lot easier when the tempo is challenging you. You might be surprised by how many swimmers draw the heels too far or too slowly before initiating the kick! #theraceclub #brea

During the pullout phase in breaststroke, you'll see a lot of swimmers, even elite ones, breakout in a 'Superman' position, with their arms slightly separated. Through our velocity meter and Drag and propulsion technology and testing, we now know that the streamline position reduces drag by at least 10% compared to a 'Superman' position. The swimmers always begin the breaststroke pullout in the hyper-streamline or streamline position, so why do they end it in the Superman position? #breaststroke

🏊‍♂️ Mastering Your Breaststroke Tempo! ⏱️🔥Finding the optimal stroke rate & timing is key to an efficient breaststroke! The secret? It all starts with your kick cycle time. Using the Finis Tempo Trainer, we dial in a tempo you can maintain for at least a 100. With plenty of rest between reps, we steadily increase the tempo—until you hit the point where your time starts to slow down. That’s when your timing is off and your kick cycle can’t keep up with your stroke.🚀 Refine your tempo. Perfect

Think going wide on your breaststroke pull causes drag? Think again. 🚫Most swimmers (and coaches) are afraid to go wide because they think it slows you down. But the truth is — it’s not your arms causing the drag. It's your body position. ✅ All elite breaststrokers go wide — around 90°. ✅ You get more propulsion before the elbows even bend. ✅ The key? Stay streamlined and lift the shoulders at the right time. Train smarter. Swim faster. 💥 #theraceclub #breaststroke #swimtechnique #swimfaster #

Fast breaststroke kick requires the feet to dorsi flex or bring the toes towards the shin. We measure this tool using a downward dog pose with the feet pigeon toed. We begin with the heels on the matt and walk the hands out until the heels can’t stay on the matt any longer. Nick Mahabir @nickkmahabir has an incredible amount of dorsi flexion in his ankles as he is able to walk his hands out far while keeping his heels pinned to the matt. If you want to increase your dorsi flexion in your ankles,

Out with the old, in with the new! Breaststroke and Butterfly events used to be dominated by what we call the “vertical” open turn. In recent years, we’ve seen that shift quite dramatically (at the elite level) towards the spin turn. Instead of “elbowing your brother, calling your mother” & falling back, we teach Race Clubbers to get small & stay high in the water with the spin turn. One of our talented 13 & Under campers demonstrates a high level spin turn in this clip! Do you use the spin turn
