It’s almost been 2 YEARS since we last posted!  Work, kids, and life just kind of got in the way and this website took a backseat.  We’ll try to do better this year (or what’s left of 2018).

 

Breakout = the breakout is when you surface from being underwater after doing your start or turn.  If you’re doing freestyle, the bottom arm of your streamline should be the arm that begins your stroke.
