The breaststroke kick, or "whip kick," is the primary source of propulsion in breaststroke, contributing an estimated 70-80% of the forward momentum. However, its complex, asymmetrical, and non-linear motion makes it the most technically challenging element to master. This paper researches and outlines a systematic training methodology for breaststroke leg technique, moving from foundational dry-land drills to advanced in-water integration. The focus is on developing a kinesthetic understanding of the proper "catch," propulsion, and recovery phases while identifying and correcting common errors.
