Breaststroke: head lifts too high

Lifts the head and shoulders high to breathe and keeps the head up in the glide.

Activities that help

• Nod and Glide – A small nod to breathe, then the eyes return down for the glide – keeps breaststroke flat and streamlined.
• Pull and Peek – Breaststroke arms with a small forward breath as the hands sweep in – linking arm action and breathing without lifting too high.
