Breast technology
The breaststroke is considered the most complex of all swimming techniques. Arm stroke, leg stroke, breathing and the gliding phase must be precisely coordinated to enable efficient and clean movement in the water. In this course, prospective swimming coaches learn the methodical structure of teaching the technique and receive practical tools for successfully teaching breaststroke.
The course starts by working on the basics: water position, body tension and the correct sequence of movements according to the principle of "pull - breathe - kick - glide". Building on this, arm and leg movements and breathing are introduced step by step and linked methodically. Error recognition is also a central component. Typical problems such as "scissor legs", too hectic breathing or incorrect arm movements are addressed and corrected through targeted corrective exercises and the use of aids.
The next step is to make the technique more economical. Participants learn how to achieve an efficient swimming position, reduce unnecessary movements and use the gliding phase to cover more distance with less effort. This economical approach is particularly important for triathletes and fitness swimmers in order to save energy and increase performance in the long term.
