The biggest breaststroke mistake you are making!
If your timing is off, all your other technique work does not really matter. The secret to a fast and efficient breaststroke comes down to three simple steps: pull, kick, glide.
Here is how to lock in your rhythm:
The Pull: Your pull and your breath need to happen at the exact same time.
The Kick: Drive your powerful kick immediately after your pull.
The Glide: This is the most crucial part. You must hold a tight streamline parallel to the surface of the water.
If you rush the stroke and do not give yourself a chance to glide, you are negating all of your hard technique work. You have to be extremely patient and focus on maximizing your distance per stroke. ⏱️
I put together a quick drill progression to help you master this exact timing.
