If you follow us on social media regularly, you would know that we are always looking to share our passion for First Aid & Aquatics with our customers. In this post we will be sharing tips on how to improve your Breaststroke. This stroke is definitely not the most efficient stroke. Breaststroke also has the largest variance in technique amongst the fastest swimmers compared to the other three competitive strokes. Despite these challenges, there are still stroke characteristics that the best swimmers have in common. In this post we will cover 2 things the world’s best breaststrokers share:
1) A Strong Kick
Because you’re so low in the water while swimming breaststroke, your legs have to do more work to keep your body moving forward. To push the most water back, the feet turn out and the toes point to the side. The feet should not extend past the width of the knees. The kick will naturally extend downward. The key is to push back as much as possible and get the legs up and in line as quickly as possible.
2) Fast Recovery of Ankles and Arms
The best breaststrokers have the most speed when they extend into streamline. The best breaststrokers also have the most speed at the peak of their stroke/breath: just before extending into line, and they slow down the least at that point. Speed is the name of the game! After you are comfortable with your technique, train Fast!! The only way to improve this is to train the movement at the speed you want it to be executed.

Did you know audio-visual stimulation can cause seizure? Seizure is a sudden episode of electrical disturbances in the brain that results in intense uncontrollable muscle movement, foaming at the mouth, uncontrolled repetitive motions, loss of consciousness or awareness, change in behavior, and hallucinations. You don’t have to have epilepsy to experience seizure. It can happen to anyone without seizure and the severity of it depends on the type and cause of the seizure. Head injuries, high fever, poisons, drug or alcohol withdrawal are a few examples for cases of seizure. When you see a person seizing, call EMS/9-1-1 and protect their head with a soft object but don’t try to hold them down. Do not put any objects in their mouth. Roll them on their side keep monitoring the person’s vital signs until EMS arrives.

Ticks are small bugs that go under your skin and suck your blood. You can find ticks usually in dark and moist areas. They get attached to the body and when they found a desirable place to stay, they bite the skin and start drinking the blood. Here are the steps to remove a tick from your skin:
1. Make sure you have gloves on.
2. Grasp the tick firmly by its head with a tweezers as close as to the skin.
3. Pull upward gently and remove the tick.
4. When tick is removed, wash the area with clean water
5. If you can’t remove the tick, or you see fever, rash, or infection, the person needs to seek medical attention.

Germs can spread to others in many different but simple ways. To stop and prevent the spread of these infectious bacteria, wash your hands on a regular basis and make it as part of a daily routine, for example before touching or eating food, after sneezing or coughing, before and after caring for someone who is sick, and after using the washroom. Proper handwashing is an important way for preventing these germs from spreading. Here are the proper steps on how you can wash your hands and keep them free from bacteria.

To ensure you are squeezing the most out of your time everytime you step in the pool, we will provide you with few pointers on different strokes with each of our posts. Make sure to follow our page and our posts to get the complete list of instructions. Here are a few important tips for improving your Front Crawl technique and specifically your “Arm action” and “Breathing”.
• Keep your elbow slightly bent as you reach your hand in front of your body to enter the water.
• Entry should be between the centre line of the head and the shoulder line and the hand should be directed with the palm facing down and out so the thumb first enters the water first.
• Don’t start pulling back as soon as your hand is in the water.
• After entering the water, the arm should perform a three-sweep motion.
• With your elbow slightly bent, sweep forward, then back towards the centre of the body, then out towards the thighs.
• Maximise the efficiency of your stroke by completing the whole arm action and not bringing you arm out of the water before it reaches your leg.
• Try to keep your head turn as smooth as possible when you breathe. Your neck should remain smooth with your head and spine joining the rotation of the shoulders.
• One side of the face should remain in the water and you may want to stretch your mouth to one side to keep it clear.
• Try not to lift your head too much out of the water – the more your head raises, the more your feet and legs will sink in the water.
• After a sharp inhale, turn your face quickly and smoothly back into the water in time with the rotation of your shoulders.
• Exhalation takes place in the water when the head is back to a neutral position and can be gradual or explosive.
• The regularity of breathing is not set in stone – it is better to simply inhale when necessary.
