Breaststroke Arm Pull Dryland Exercise

Practice the breaststroke arm pull on land first. Imagine a cauldron at chest height: extend the arms as if touching its far edge, then move the fingertips synchronously along the cauldron toward the body. The elbows may move slightly outward but stay as stationary as possible, palms always facing backward. When the hands meet near the chest, quickly extend them forward and hold for at least two seconds before the next pull.
