Learn Breaststroke Easily

How can I learn breaststroke easily and which swimming stroke is best to learn first?

Breaststroke is usually the best stroke to learn first especially if you are an adult beginner to swimming. There are several reasons why breaststroke is the most adult beginner friendly. Firstly it can be performed with the body position at an angle so that there is no need for the face or head to be submerged. Secondly, stopping and standing up mid-swim is easier from this stroke due to the simple arm movements.

If you are a complete beginner then it is important that you learn to hold your breath and partially submerge your face in the water. Although it is not necessary for breaststroke, it is an essential swimming basic that you need to get used to. Some find this uncomfortable and even stressful, but if you can persevere, you will become a more comfortable and confident swimmer quicker.

It is a good idea to begin with a swim noodle placed under your arms for support until you become confident with how your body moves through the water. It will also give you good support for practising standing up without holding onto the poolside.

Our eBook ‘'The Complete Guide to Swimming Breaststroke'’ contains over 20 exercises for beginners to learn the stroke. They are fully illustrated and very easy to follow. Click the link below for more information.
