Most of the major muscle groups in the body are involved in performing the breaststroke, but specific muscles are primarily responsible for producing the force to drive the body forward through the water. To complete the breaststroke, you start in a fully extended position just below the water. Your legs are straight and arms are fully extended in front of you. Raise your hips up slightly and bend your knees to load up your legs, while simultaneously driving your arms back and to the side, pushing through the water to propel your body forward until your arms finish next to your torso.
Bend your elbows to bring your arms underneath you, then straighten the arms back out as you extend your hips and knees to move yourself forward, using the power in your lower body in what is called the frog kick, finishing back at a fully extended position. During this phase, the pectoralis major muscle, in the chest, and the biceps brachii, brachialis and brachioradialis muscles in the arms also assist in the movement.
