Recently a number of masters swimmers have sought some advice on breaststroke starts and turns. The mywaterworld.life Technical page has a section on breaststroke which has been updated with material in response to those requests.
Here is a teaser. It’s Brenton Rickard demonstrating those skills in the pool – the clip is by SWIM FAST.
The full video and more is in the Breaststroke section on the Technical page.
Over the next few weeks mywaterworld.life will be restructuring the technical page to publish material on stand alone stroke pages. We will let you know when this happens.

It was so exciting to watch the racing at the 37th Masters Tasmania Summer Swimming Championships.
The highlight of the meet undoubtedly were the world records set at the meet.
John Cocks and Jennie Bucknell were the superstars of the meet.
mywaterwold.life sat in the stands, watched the clock and watched John Cocks’ 400m and 200m Individual Medley triumphs and Jennie Buckleys superb and beautifully executed 50m dash and the resultant world records – an absolute priviledge.
Especially pleasing for the Tasmanians would have been that the these were the first FINA Masters World records set at the Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Centre at a Tasmanian Masters state championship meet.
After a hiatus to refresh the mind and body, mywaterworld.life resumes providing news and access to technical articles. Our aim is to assist members of the masters swimming movement, in this case, but not exclusively, the coaches to develop their knowledge of the various types of training that they can implemented with their swimmers.
Today the focus is on High Intensity Training (HIT) . The scientific article by Gian Mario Migliaccio, PhD and Johnny Padulo, PhD published by Swimming Science titled the “Complete Guide to HIT (High Intensity Training for Swimmers)” is quite technical in nature. (Unless you are completely familiar with terminology, mywaterworld.life suggests that readers take note of the various definitions within the article as they work their way through it.
In the article the authors discuss a broad range of aspects of HIT style training including the physiology that underpins it, its principles and benefits, the resulting adaptions and critically, and in a practical sense, how to construct HIT sessions.
