Notes on the chart above:
– The more astricks, the more valuable this combination
– Cells with no astricks means this combination is not relevent
– Cells with ( ) mean the combination is the reverse (discourages instead of encourage
– Please note that some people train swimmers ‘slam’ their elbows into their ribs and other train for swimmers to keep the elbows out away from the ribs. These 2 features contrast each other and need you to choose your preference

Improve Your Breast Kick Technique

• There are endless locations to attach SB Cups to knees, calves, and ankles
• But we recommend 3 key locations:
  • Outside of Ankles – ideal to focus on the speed of your kick recovery
  • Inside of Ankles – ideal to focus on the power of a high catch
  • Outside of Mid Calve – good all around breast kick (focusing on Recovery, outsweep, upkick and your glide speed
