Answer 1

I'm 16 and I placed 1st in state for high school so listen up.For breast stroke, the key to driving forward into your glide is obviously a string kick. The problem is that this seems to be a foreign concept to most people... A great way to practice is to kick wide but when you pull your legs back together, keep them straight and when they do come together, act as though you're a board... it might feel awkward but the straighter you are, the farther you will glide...
