How many arm pulls and leg kicks are allowed for a breaststroke start?

a) 2 arm pulls and 2 leg kicks


b) 3 arm pulls and 2 leg kicks


c) 1 arm pull and 2 leg kicks


d) 1 arm pull and 1 leg kick|||I was a competitive swimmer %26amp; I know the exact answer to this question. It's one arm pull %26amp; one leg kick (D). After this you must take a breath %26amp; begin stroking, Also, you can take the first arm pull %26amp; leg kick underwater but you must take the arm pull first. Another rule while breaststroking is that your head must break the service of the water for every stroke you take %26amp; you can't put you head completely underwater after you've started your swim or you're be disqualified.|||d) 1 arm pull and 1 leg kick.|||Duh thats easy d.


Its a pullout underwater


pull ur arms to ur side


Kick bring ur arms back up to streamline


Break the surface and race to the end :D|||d) 1 arm pull and 1 leg kick|||d) 1 arm pull and 1 leg kick.|||a|||ACTUALLY...... C! You can do ONE dolphin kick during the arm pull, then you do a breaststroke kick while you bring your arms back into a streamline..... then you pull and start to swim.





P.S.


after you start to swim, you CAN put ur head completely underwater. Just watch Olympic swimmers!but u must come up on ever stroke! I have been swimming competitively for 9 YEARS and have a teammate that's going to the Olympic trials in the 100 and 200 Butterfly!!


I have watch thousands of people do breaststroke, and that's how you do it....
