How To Use A Modified Combat Side Stroke to Practice Freestyle Breathing!
This is a video of how to use, what the narrator calls, a modified combat side stroke to practice freestyle breath that is actually relaxed. It is called modified because it is using a single breaststroke kick versus a scissor kick.
I have no idea why the narrator called her side stroke "Combat Side Stroke" but I guess she is allowed to call her side stroke whatever she likes.
What I love most about this video is it shows one of the important aspects of body rotation
Key practice points:
- Keep your shoulders shoulder width
- Rotate your head with your body during the breath
There is a demonstration from both the forward view and of the side view of this modified combat side stroke so you can see what the similarities are with the freestyle breath.
Enjoy
