Time key frames:

0:00 – 0:08

Here you can see better how your feet are separated. Keep your feet closer when you kick. Big toes must be touching at all times.

You are missing mobility and flexibility, this is way you struggle to bury your head and chest and keep your arms up. Work on you mobility outside the water.

These videos can help you: videos 

You have a good pull.

0:09 – 0:13

You are doing your turn not compact enough, you have to bring your knees to your chest as soon as possible and get into a small compact position.

You are missing hip movement, the kick comes from your core not only by bending your knees. 

Work on your underwater dolphin kicks, you want to kick strong up and down.

When you do the breakout do a strong for the first stroke so you can carry the speed of the turn/underwaters, if you start the first stroke and you are too deep or you do it slow you will lose your speed.

0:14 – 0:19

Good recovery,

Here we can also see your feet not kicking at the sametime.

Areas to work on, in general:

• Work on the mobility videos 

Time key frames:

0:00 – 0:08

You don’t need to kick that wide, you are going deep too much, make your kicks smaller, and keep them high in the water.

Good pulling technique.

You are rushing your pull a little, when your arm/hand enters the water let it go just a bit deeper keeping it straight, then start bending your elbow so you pull the water backwards, it will help you grab more water and have a cleaner pull without many bubbles.

0:08 – 0:14

In the turn do not rush your push, when you turn make sure your feet are well position for a strong push and underwater dolphin kicks.

Good dolphin kicks, when you do the breakout try being closer to the surface for the first stroke so you can carry the speed of the turn/underwaters, if you start the first stroke and you are too deep you will lose your speed.

0:21 – 0:37

Here we can see how you rush the pull a bit, make sure your arm goes in wait just a bit and then start the pull, also use your shoulder rotation on your favor, when your hand goes in rotate and pull, it will be easier for your shoulders.

Areas to work on, in general:

• Work on one thing at the time, Focus one day on one thing, then the next day another point, do not try to correct it all at once.

One of the most important things in your breaststroke is that you learn how to glide, remember that gliding makes your stroke more efficient and faster, you need to stretch and tighten your arms to the front. Work on your shoulder mobility

Throw your hands to the front not down, it depends in the event, if you are swimming distances longer than 100 breast, then you can throw your hands a bit deeper to have a longer glide.

0:12 – 0:19

Good pullout.

Make sure when you do the breakout after the pullout you are close to the surface so you do the first stroke close to the surface and carry the speed from the turn to your swim.

0:19 – 0:25

Throw your hands strong to the front with speed, not just put them in front.

Areas to work on, in general:

• Work on the mobility of your shoulders and back and you will have a better gliding.
• Good breaststroke! 

Breast examples:

Time key frames:

0:00 – 0:09

Your pull is somewhat slow, when you finish gliding and you bend your elbow to start the pull, accelerate the pull and do it strong. You need to grab and pull the water strong every time.

Good kick, good head and body position.

Make sure that when your arms enter the water you fully stretch your arms to the front before starting the pull. Right now you keep your elbow a bit bend.

0:09 – 0:14

Do not rush your push, land in a good position and make sure to have a strong push every time you do a turn.

Make sure in the breakout you are almost in the surface. You can still do one more dolphin kick then change to freestyle kick.

Areas to work on, in general:

• Good freestyle, work on your shoulder mobility.
