Swimming Breaststroke

Swimming Breaststroke

The breaststroke was established in Great Britain after the first successful channel swim by Captain Webb in 1875. The breaststroke is popular with beginners because they can see and breath easily. The head is held above the water while palms are turned slightly outward. Hands act as paddles and are pulled backward. Legs move in a frog like action, pushing you forward with the help of the arms.
