Phrases for Teaching Breaststroke – Quick Cues for Swimming Teachers
Help swimmers master breaststroke with clearer, more effective teaching language
Breaststroke can be one of the most rewarding strokes to teach — but also one of the most challenging when swimmers struggle to understand the correct sequence.
The Swimming Teacher’s Breaststroke Phrase Book gives you practical, poolside-ready cues and alternative phrases to help explain the stroke more effectively.
Inside, you’ll find different ways to teach:
✓ Breaststroke body position and glide
✓ Leg kick technique and timing

More Than One Way to Explain Every Skill
Each teaching point is presented through several different types of language:
Direct
Short, clear instructions for swimmers who respond well to precise actions.
Gentle and reassuring
Calmer wording for nervous swimmers or pupils who need confidence.
Playful and imaginative
Memorable images that help children and visual learners picture the movement.
Feel-based
Prompts that help swimmers notice what the movement should feel like.
Rhythm and sequence
Short patterns that make timing and coordination easier to remember.
Each entry also includes alternative wording for swimmers who are nervous, rushing or not understanding, together with a practical poolside note.
When swimmers get stuck, changing the words can change the result
Sometimes a swimmer understands what they need to do — but your explanation just is not connecting.
Repeating the same instruction louder or more often rarely solves the problem.
A different phrase, image, rhythm or feeling can help a swimmer understand the same skill in a completely new way.
This book helps you adapt your teaching language without changing your teaching goal.
