Also what are some great exercises to increase the power of the muscles?|||Mostly the abductor and adductor muscles (thigh muscles). Strengthen these muscles by using the leg press machine and doing lunges with weights. Doing squats with weights will also help but not nearly as much as the first two exercises.
The arms are used, but very MINIMALLY, contrary to what many people believe. Having a strong kick will increase your times a lot faster than building up your arm muscles. If you notice, most swimmers don't have huge muscular arms, so I don't know what the person before me is talking about. Having big biceps and triceps hardly influence breaststroke. It's the kick followed by the glide in streamline position that gets you far in breaststroke.|||see my other reply:

Contrary to another message, although groin strength is more important in breaststroke as compared to all others, breaststroke still requires tremendous core and upper back strength.
So, you need to develop the muscles of the groin, too. Be certain that you stretch after you lift.|||Triceps, Biceps, Sartorius, Gastrocnernius
