The essentials of breaststroke leg movements:
1. Straighten your legs and keep your body flat. Start to retract your legs and bend your knees. During the retracting process, the distance between your knees should not be too wide. .
2. Turn your feet over, hook your toes, and face the water on the inside of your feet.
3. Kick your legs. After retracting the legs, kick them toward the back and lower part of the body, and open the legs into a figure eight.
4. Clamp your legs. Straighten your legs together. Complete a complete set of kicks.
Things to note when doing breaststroke kicks:
1. Leg retraction: During the leg retraction process, the distance between the two knees should not be too large. It must be less than the distance between the ankles, the calves must be as close to the thighs as possible, and the heels as close to the buttocks as possible.
2. Turn over the soles of the feet: After turning over the soles of the feet, make sure that the inside of the calf and the inside of the sole of the foot are facing the water. Only in this way can the driving force of the water be maintained, and the kicking out will be efficient.
3. Kick your legs and clamp your legs quickly. While kicking your legs, you also basically start to pinch your legs. Pay attention to the direction of kicking your legs downward and backward rather than horizontally.
