Woggle to Develop Breaststroke Arms
Can I use a woggle to develop breastroke arms and the correct technique needed for stage 7?
By stage 7 I presume you mean ASA stage 7? The short answer is yes you can. However, it is not ideal.
A woggle can be used to practice and develop breaststroke arm action because it allows you to move slowly. By swimming slowly, supported by the woggle under your arms, you can be precise about how your arms and mainly your hands move in the water.
The main drawback of using the woggle for breaststroke arms is that it restricts your movement. With the woggle placed under the arms you are not able to tuck in your elbows at the end of the propulsive phase and so the path of the hands is restricted.
This exercise is best used to learn and practice the arm action for breaststroke but other exercises that involve push and glides or leg kicks will help develop the arm action in line with the leg kick and body position.
Remember it is the leg kick for breaststroke that provides most of the propulsion and arm action is there to balance and assist.
Our eBook 'The Complete Guide to Swimming Breaststroke' contains 20 separate exercises that help develop all parts of the technique, including the arm action.
