标题: BREASTSTROKE - KICK WITH A BOARD [打印本页] 作者: iswim 时间: 2021-11-26 08:16 标题: BREASTSTROKE - KICK WITH A BOARD When you kick with a board you can just kick...or you can kick with focus on the fine points.
This entire drill was shot with the iPhone in the Hitcase waterproof case.
We love using a board when kicking breaststroke, but using proper form matters even when doing this standard part of workout.
Why do it:
Using proper form when kicking with a board will help teach you how to drive your energy forward.
How to do it:
1) Pay attention to what happens to the board when you're not thinking about your form. Does the board tilt up drastically? Do the head and hands bob up and down? Our goal will be to limit this movement.
2) Hold the board toward the front, and push the front of the board lower in the water.
3) Keep your face lower in the water, with just your eyes above the surface. Come up for a breath when you need to, during the recovery of the kick.
4) Keep the board level, and moving directly forward.
