Breastroke, Breaststroke, Breaststroke 🐸 This is one of the main strokes that swimmers struggle with. 90% of swimmers struggle to achieve their next stage award due to an incorrect Breaststroke leg kick. If you're going to practice anything at home, practice this!! The video will show you through a few progressions starting with correct foot position all the way through to correct leg action on both front and back. For younger swimmers it might be useful to use some imagery words to help them remember and picture the actions. You could link it to the Gruffalo with knobbly knees and turned out toes 🐻 or different animals such as penguin toes 🐧, frogs knees 🐸, crocodile snap 🐊 Happy Practicing 😁 FSA 💧

💥💥 It's all about the face! 💥💥 The secret to any swimming success is water confidence and that starts with being comfortable and confident getting your face wet. 💦☺️💦 The best time to start this is right from the start of life, as a baby 👶 ... But it's never too late! This video shows a few different progressive activities that can be done at home to increase water confidence on and around the face. For swimmers that are very nervous with water on their face, simply starting with splashing hands is a great place to start. ☺️🚿 For those that are happy and confident with their face in the water 😁, there is an activity to work on rhymithical breathing which helps with frontcrawl, breaststroke and butterfly. It is also part of the testing criteria from Stage 2 onwards. *Disclaimer: high chance of water going everywhere 🤣 * FSA 💧

💥💥 Can I kick it? Yes you can! 💥💥 Having a good alternating (up and down) leg kick is key for swimming Frontcrawl and Backstroke. Working on flexible, floppy ankles is the foundation to having a strong alternating kick. Kicking from the hips is equally as important and a skill a lot of beginner swimmers struggle with, as there tends to be a lot of 'knee bending' that happens. Building a strong stable core will help with those 'sinky leg' issues when back in the pool. Working through the activities on this video will help with overall kicking technique by building muscle memory, core strength and an overall correct kicking action. We would love to see some kicking practicing in action so post those flutter kicks below! 🎥 FSA 💧
