Execution of the breast stroke approach is the same as the breast stroke with a few minor deviations:
- Body Position: The position of your body is horizontal to diagonal and influenced by the position of the head. This allows you to maintain eye contact with the victim. It also allows you to communicate with the victim in order reassure him as you approach.
- Arm Action: Execute the arm action for the breast stroke, except that your arm pull is wider and deeper, which allows your head to remain above the water’s surface.
- Leg Action: Execute the leg action for the breast stroke, except that your legs open wider during the propulsion phase of the stroke.
- Breathing: Keep your face above the water and breathe as needed (free breathing).
- Coordination: Coordination is the same as the breast stroke, except that there is no glide period. You constantly stroke until you reach the victim.
