More on breaststroke (go Lady Reds!)

More on breaststroke (go Lady Reds!)

This weekend, I did a clinic on breaststroke with the Carthage College women's team. We spent two hours the first night on the mother lode of breaststroke drills, and I promised the ladies some handouts. Here they are:

  • The first one is a revision of a handout I created a long time ago to introduce wave breaststroke to a number of primarily freestyle coaches. It gives an overview of what I'm trying to do with the stroke.
     
  • Page 2 of the second handout provides more of a swimmer's perspective on the stroke and the drills that we've done thus far.
     
  • The third file is a proof of the article that appeared in the May/June issue of USMS SWIMMER on the breaststroke pullout.

Enjoy!

update 2008-5-21: The last time I updated the software that drives the website, I forgot to fix the links above. They should be viewable again... sorry about that!
