Hey, ciao, in my opinion, the brushstroke pool would be your star thumb. Perpendicular to the bottom of the pool like this, as you Glide. And you head down, always eyes looking towards the bottom of the pool. So in a perfect streamline, you know, when you start the pool, you want to turn your thumb down to the bottom of the pool. You're going to press up once you. You hands have past your shoulder with, you know, and you had still down. Then you start lifting your head. And as you start lifting your head, you're going to find, you know, where you need to press down for a moment just like butterfly and then squeeze everything. You see my elbow. It's in front of my body. So, I press out then down and then bring everything and then I go forward like that and then I found my hands. So that would be how I would teach the rest of pool. There's another way that you can press down right away. But when you press down right away, your body lifts up, and you have to be very powerful. And sometimes very light, unless you have a very high stroke rate. But normally people the press down and lift themselves up. I'm not that good of 200 breaststrokers normally this exceptions. And then also you using your bicep all the time when you press down this way, and when you press out your thumb down, you using your forearm first, and then you switch to buy sell. So those little tenths of a second that you use different muscles, are very good because you switching muscles, all the And brush stroke is a is a stroke that you analyze it. You should be switching muscles and muscle groups as you go to District. So hopefully that helps. Well, sorry, I forgot about the head. The head should be always looking down. You is perpendicular to the bottom of the pool as you press out and you shoulders pass, you, you hands past your shoulder width, then you're going to blow your air and then you're going to start looking just for a moment straightforward. And as you look at straightforward and you hands, and your arms are coming in. Here. Then I'm going to throw my head or my hands go, so my back is going to go from concave to convex very quickly. Hopefully make sense. The head is the heaviest part of your body. So use it.
