Learn To Swim Breaststroke | Rikke Møller

World-record holder in breaststroke, Rikke Møller Pedersen shares 5 most importing things to keep in mind, when swimming the perfect breaststroke: - Good streamline position; - Straight head; - Move your hips (push them down to stay high!); - Strong legs; - Kick straight behind yourself (NOT around in a circle).
