Breaststroke Kick for Butterfly

Many of you have already taken part in the FINA Technical Rules updates and are aware of the recent changes. However, I have been asked that you draw the attention of any Masters swimmers that you know of to the changes made to the Masters Rules with reference to the Butterfly.

The new rule is included below.

MSW 3.10 A breaststroke kicking movement is permitted for butterfly.

Only one breaststroke kick is permitted per arm pull except that a single breaststroke kick is permitted prior to the turn and the finish without an arm pull. After the start and after each turn, a single breaststroke kick is permitted prior to the first arm pull.

Pauline Brand

It is with great sorrow that I have to tell you that Pauline passed away just over a week ago.
Those of you that have swum with her over the last 10 years will remember a kind, determined and witty lady.
I have written a short piece to remember her by.
I'm sure that with me your thoughts go out to Judith and her sister and all those that she has left behind.

Breaststroke - Band Kick

Paul Rigden,
I've always believed that the BR kick needs to be narrow.  This drill works on it.  I wished I'd thought it up when I was in full time coaching.

Enjoy
