We master swimming breaststroke

Having mastered more or less on the water, you beginto think about how to overcome water distances, what use for this purpose of the position of the body? To learn how to swim the distance on the water, there are special techniques for swimming. One of them - swimming breaststroke, about her and will go further speech.

General characteristics of breasts

Brass is a technique for a "lazy" swimmer, and shedoes not allow you to develop a great speed at a distance. What for? After all, it is designed for entirely different purposes: a review of the underwater space in combination with the accumulation of forces for long-distance navigation. This is what it is intended for. Brass can swim silently, although not fast compared to other sports swimming techniques.

And what exactly does breastfeeding mean? The technique of water movements in a synchronized circular swing of the arms and legs, where the swimmer's main efforts are carried out underwater, is a breaststroke.

Synchronizing the movement of the legs, the breast is createdso-called power traction. Professionals use this feature in different situations, for example, when saving a drowning man. This technique is also effective for diving.

Brass for sports relay races

Many athletes, competing with each other fordistances of 100, 200 or 400 m in water sports, combine various movements for the brass technique. Swimming in this combination consists of periodic repetitions of movements: one movement of the hands, one movement of the legs, a breath, followed by an exhalation in the water.

When the swimmer applies the breaststrokethe position of the body is taken into account. The body is above the surface of the water, it is straightened, and the head is slightly lowered into the water at eye level. At the moment of swimming itself, the body can change the position and angle of the effort.

On how the body is located in the water, depends andtechnique of breasts execution. There are two ways to swim so. The first, when in cyclic movements the change in the body's emphasis on water does not exceed 10 degrees. Method number 2 - the effort emphasis changes by 10-20 degrees.

Swimming with a breaststroke while mastering both ways givesgood sporting achievements. The first option increases the useful dynamics of the body and its overall progress in the water, of course, with the synchronous operation of the feet. The second allows you to evenly distribute the power traction in the movements. In the increased movement of the arms forward, the body's vibrations become minimal.

How to use the feet in swimming breaststroke

Legs should perform a repulsive andaccompanying movement, as though sliding on the water. Between the movements of the legs should follow a small interval. Now we will consider in more detail the movement of support.

Having taken the original position of the body, the swimmer drawsfeet, bringing them closer together. Socks should be slightly rounded. Then you need to flex your knees smoothly, and your hips should be held by the surface of the water. Do the simultaneous movement of the knees, spreading them to the side and slightly down, the trunk will begin to drop slightly under the water. Continuing the movement, help yourself stop in the direction of the body. Ideally, swimming breaststroke tilts the body in relation to the thigh at 130-140 degrees. The shin becomes almost vertical with respect to the thigh, while leaving the feet in the water.

Do not forget that during each subsequentmovement of the leg will have to be pulled up to the hip, and this creates an additional muscular load. Knowing this, try to bend and straighten your legs slowly, at about the average pace.

When you unbend your legs, the extension movement shouldbe sloppy and slightly accelerated (the first phase of the movement). The feet are then "pulled back". When the legs begin to straighten, the feet come down somewhere in the middle of the body (the second phase of the movement). The main work is performed by the shin and foot, developing the thrust necessary for pushing the body.
