Breaststroke: "SHRUG SHOOT STRETCH"

Breaststroke points recently reviewed during practice:

1. SHRUG- Pop your shoulders up (practice at home in front of a mirror)
2. SHOOT - Push your arms forward as if pushing something away aggressively
3. STRETCH - Reach arms out straight toward the wall (keep eyes down and head still)
