WIDE pull or NARROW pull for breaststroke?
NARROW or WIDE pulls for breaststroke?
If you’re aiming for the power breaststroke technique, we think you should go with WIDE pulls.
The extra outsweep allows for more time & force to be used to elevate the head higher. With a fast enough kick cycle time, you can then use this extra height of the head to slam and throw yourself forward & down as you go to the strike phase.
We call this COUPLING (timing the non propulsive movement - the slam - with the propulsive one - the kick) and if you want to learn more about it… check out our video library for more videos & articles on this and many more swimming topics!
Here’s one of those videos:
