Have to swim 100m without stopping, within 4 minutes|||4 minutes is enough time for a 400 breast if you put some effort into it! Here are some tips to increase your speed:
1. maintain and practice your rhythm. Sometimes a song or beat in your head can help you maintain your rhythm. Whateve ryou do do not lose this rhythm or you'll slow down!
2. Glide. Use all of your stroke as efficiently as possible and make sure you are gliding until you feel yourself begining to slow. Then take another stroke. The glide can be an important factor between winning and losing a race and the same principle applies to racing against the clock.
3. Use your kick, remember the snap. Make sure you are taking a wide kick with a hard snap that brings the legs the entire distance around and together. Alot of people have a short kick that causes them to lose a lot of power.
4. Breathe when you need too but not too often. Try breathing every 2 strokes and see how you feel. Taking a breath wastes energy so you want to do this as little as possible without slowing down.
Good luck!|||well, i would do daily running because that helps build ur leg muscles a lot. (run about 3-4 miles) (it helps trust me!)
well, when you are on your 100m race. what ever you do. dont get beaten by the guy next to you that is faster. NEVER. this way you will be forced to keep up with them and there fore bringing you up the standards
when you swim, have a nice strong kick the whole way
(remember, this is only a 100m race.) keep you rhythm nice and strong and fast. keep a good pace, dont start out too strong so that u will have no energy in the end. try going fast the first lap but have enough energy to go even faster on the second lap..
While you take these strong strokes, make sure that you glide, it helps plus you dont waste you enegy.
I hope this helps|||PRACTICE
its always all about practice. 4 minutes is PLENTY of time to swim 100m. work on your stroke/technique, your kick, your pulldowns, and your turns. make sure you are doing the stroke properly. if you are, i dont see how you wouldn't be able to finish without stopping.|||difficult with breast stroke, however u can try long distance underwater sessions along with breast stroke for faster swim...|||well, i am a compitive swimmer and i love breast stoke. 4 mins is enough to do a 200 or 400, but a 100 m. you can do under 2 mins EASY. you didnt say if you swim much but it is simple. here are some notes you can use that i use.
1. maintain and practice your rhythm. sometimes a song or beat in your head can help you maintain your rhythm. Whatever you do do not lose this rhythm or you'll slow down! use a fast beat rhythm.
2. Glide. Use all of your stroke as efficiently as possible and make sure you are gliding until you feel yourself begining to slow. When doing long distance dont slow your glide down, keep it the same speed. count in your head with the 100 m. I count 1, then 2. so you get the nesary glide you need. The glide can be an important factor between winning and losing a race and the same principle applies to racing against the clock.
3. Use your kick, remember the snap. Make sure you are taking a wide kick with a hard snap that brings the legs the entire distance around and together. Alot of people have a short kick that causes them to lose a lot of power. The longer the better, and make your legs longer and fast.
4. Breathe when you need too but not too often. Try breathing every 2 strokes and see how you feel. Taking a breath wastes energy so you want to do this as little as possible without slowing down. Enless your technique is differnt, like my stoke you must bring your head up so you breath, sometimes you can be DQed for staying under for 2 stokes so come up but dont breath just move your head a bit and your arms to propel forward.
5. Last, remember a count or rhythm, Glide!, breathing technique, fast, quick long kick, and have fun. The 100m is very easy and if it is in a 25 or 50m. poo learn to do fast turns. Do you know how to do a pull out, or a open turn? If you need to use them, if you are in a 25 or 50m. pool. The turn and pull out is the escial part!
6. When you first dive in 1.glide count 1,2,3
2. pull your arms done 1,2
3. kick count 1, 2 and you should be on the surface and then you swim!
the turn is a two hand turn, just remember that and if you need to do it ask a compitive swimmer or the reason you are doing the 100m.
Have fun with it! i know i would!
Good luck!|||Swimming is my favorite sport and breastroke is my favorite event. When pulling with your arms, try to have a medium wide stroke, and pick up your turn over rate. The faster you pull the faster you will go. Make sure you get a good glide that way you don't get tired as fast. Whenever you are kicking, make sure that your legs touch each other before and after each kick. Hope this helps!|||Um, well i hate to bring u down, but 100m without stopping isnt that hard! Im not trying to come across mean, i just want to bring that point forward. I was a swimmer for 5 years, and my sister has been swimming for 3 years. She is the top swimmer in the state and is ranked withing the top 10 in the country. Being only 10 years old she has tremedous dedication. She practices everyday, 6 days a week, for about 2 hours. I would suggest practicing like u never practiced before. Everyday, even for a short amount of time, get in the pool and swim.
In breast, its all about the legs...that means kick! Work on your leg muscels. The second thing, besides arms, is the turn, work on a quick, touch-and-go at the wall. good luck!
P.S- my sisters time is a 125.32, and mine is a 134.67! dont give up, u'll get it!!!|||keep your head down and pull as hard as you can with your arms with your hands cupped!|||Breaststroke is the slowest of the four official styles in competitive swimming. The fastest breaststroke swimmers can swim about 1.67 meters per second.
Breaststroke is swum while leaning on the chest, with the arms only breaking the surface of the water slightly and legs always underwater, while the head is underwater for the second half of the stroke. The kick is sometimes referred to as a "frog kick" because of the resemblance to a frog's kick. The body is often at a steep angle to the forward movement. This slows down the swimmer more than any other style.
A special feature of competitive breaststroke is the underwater pullout. From the streamline position, one uses the arms to pull all the way down past the hips. As the arms are pulling down, one downward dolphin kick is allowed, though still optional. This is followed by the recovery of the arms to the streamline position once more, and then a kick. The pullout at the start and after the turns contributes significantly to the swimming times. Therefore one way to improve the swimming times is to focus on the start and the turns.
