How to drop seconds off my breaststroke time?

I wanna know how to drop time off my breaststroke time?





other than by practicing everyday, what else could i do like what kind of weightlifting (how often), and if by eating healthy?? and also when could i shave, and what would i shave???|||In order to improve your breaststroke time, you need to improve your biggest weakness. Stroke technique and timing? Leg strength? Endurance?





ASK YOUR COACH!|||Hello





You need to build up the muscle in your legs, try a running machine, or even go running. Bench press would be good, Obviously this wont build up your leg muscle but the stronger your arms the more water you can pull without getting as tired. Drinking water and eating quite healthy would help your fitness level, even though i do neither of these, and im a quite good swimmer.


Shaving... well if you had a beard i guess that would slow you down abit otherwise you shouldn't need to shave.





Hope this helped. Ian.|||I am not a breaststroker, but I was. When you swim breaststroke you should keep your head in line with your spine and have a narrow kick. You should pull hard. Also, everytime you push off the walls, do a very strong pull out. Your turns should be very fast and touch with both hands and burst off the wall. Also work on your starts.|||Without going to the extremes of weightlifting etc. You could just work on doing a good streamline when you enter the water and if you turn make sure you push off with a good streamline.


Also have nice long, flowing strokes instead of choppy ones, that would also help.


Good Luck!|||shave head or wear a cap, shave at the last meet, you want to build up speed by going with a dragg, then you will cutt off your last race by shaving the night before, shaving arms legs back, stomach, everything lol, and make sure your techneque is good, and i cant spell, lol|||snip..snip|||well..... figure out wat ur doing wrong by askin ur coach, cuz i cant answer that cuz ive never seen u swim, if u shave shave b4 a swim meet and shave ur legs and under ur arms. hope i helped!
