How can i drop time in my 100 breaststroke?

I am getting ready for my conference meet and i want to know anyone's advice on how to drop seconds from my time. Should i wear a jammer or speedo? Pullout advice? any advice works. thanks.|||Be sure to be in a streamline when you kick- ie. pull, stretch, kick. That way, there is less water resistance.


And milk those pullouts for all they're worth. Just don't overdo it.


You should be fine in the suit you normally compete in. At this point, your stroke is probably more important.


In your turns, get off the wall as quickly as possible. That should help you drop at least a second if you practice it.|||suit is not as important, on the pullout do the usual full length pull and a smooth half butterfly kick. during the rest of the stroke everything should be nice and fluent, a butterfly kick movement sort of. The biggest mistake people make is that breast stroke is alot more similiar to butterfly than people think|||Speedo fastskins are best (you know, the kind with the little rubber bumpy things that suck in water) but they cost about $120 when not on sale, so just make sure that your suit is tight, and other than that, an easy (sort of) way to drop time is to improve your dives and turns, as well as the breaststroke pull down, make sure to do it right, though, or you will get DQed. Make sure your turns are legal, too (like 2 hands on the wall at the same time)...|||the guy's on my team noticed that their times are faster in a speedo than jammers because they get more range of motion..so maybe do that ha





and just perfect your starts and turns, they make the race


yeah, do the one fly kick in your pullout, that helps a lot


and puuuush the water super hard down on your pullout, i make a little key-shape haa





andddd, reach super far and fast on your finish, stretch :)





good luck|||Well, I'm getting ready for Sectionals/State coming up next month... for this same event.


This is how I got myself under a min. for the first time... I worked my butt off on my pull outs, big strong pull outs, like push the water as hard as possible. Pull ups out side the pool will help you with pull outs..


Also, think of it like this, you want to have the fastest arm tempo with still be strong like wide arms but still get a lot of arm pulls in there. and then finish it with strong strong kicks, work on that in practice.


Also, this is where a lot of guys lose their place, the WALLS. get on and off as fast as possible, but keep it legal. like pop on and off, fast as possible.





just wear whatever suit your coach thinks is best.


Good Luck!|||A suit won't matter as long as it is really tight on your body.





A good pull-down is very important.





Also you should try to be as fast off the block as you possibly can.





Have a strong kick.





Shoot your arms forwards as fast as you can. It might help if you ask your coach or a friend to shout "shoot" or "go" while your head is above water.





Get off the wall as fast as possible. Don't forget to finish with both hands on every lap.





Don't glide too much, just enough.|||On your turns, just graze the wall with the fingertips you are going to pull away first, and keep your head down throughout the turn.





Keep your hips up and let them undulate while you kick. It generates a lot of propulsion. this was a major breakthrough for me when i started doing it.|||when u r at practice try a drill that i use, put a pull buoy between ur legs, then try doing a length of the pool only doing the breaststroke pull, it will seem very weird at first but it helped me drop tremendous time.|||PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE





Go to practice, work on your stroke and technique. Also, talk to your coach. Ask for advice.|||Speedo has less water resistance. Speed up once you set your corners and pull down. Your resting time is when you are flat and expanded in the water.
