Breaststroke isn’t about speed…

It’s about timing, control, and smooth movement.
Here’s how to master it step by step 👇
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 1. Body Position
Keep your body flat and streamlined 🌊
✔️ Head in line with the spine
✔️ Hips close to the water surface
Less resistance = more efficiency
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟡 2. Arm Movement
Start with arms fully extended in front 🤲
✔️ Sweep out and slightly down
✔️ Bring hands together under the chest
✔️ Shoot arms forward again
Smooth and relaxed, not wide or rushed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟠 3. Leg Kick (The Frog Kick) 🐸
✔️ Heels up toward the hips
✔️ Turn toes outward
✔️ Kick out and around, then squeeze together
Power comes from the legs, not the arms
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔵 4. Breathing 🌬️
✔️ Breathe in as your arms pull
✔️ Lift your head naturally
✔️ Exhale underwater during the glide
No need to rush the breath
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟣 5. Timing & Glide
👉 Pull → Breathe → Kick → Glide
The glide is the secret of breaststroke ✨
Pause and let the water carry you
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

is better than fast breaststroke with bad habits.

Take away caution;This January it's raining cat's and dogs in Livingstone but Rain is not a problem for swimming (unless it pours so much that you can’t see anything).It’s thunder that is a problem (actually, it’s lightning).If there’s a lifeguard at that pool, then it depends on the lifeguard. But they also often prefer to call it quits and go inside when it rains, even if there is no risk of lightning. They don’t like getting wet or something…Swimming in an outdoor pool during rain can be safe under certain conditions, but there are important factors to consider:

(1.)Lightning Risk: The primary danger during rain, especially if there are thunderstorms, is lightning. Water is a good conductor of electricity, and being in or near water during a storm can be very dangerous. It’s best to exit the pool and seek shelter indoors if you hear thunder or see lightning.

(2)Water Quality: Rainwater can introduce contaminants into the pool, potentially affecting water quality. If the rain is heavy, it may dilute the pool’s chemicals, leading to an imbalance that could cause skin irritations or infections.

(3.)Temperature and Visibility: If the rain is mild and they're are no signs of a storm, swimming may be enjoyable. However, consider water temperature and visibility. Heavy rain can reduce visibility, making it harder to see other swimmers or potential hazards.

(4.)Pool Management Policies: Many _public pools have specific policies regarding swimming during rain or storms. Always adhere to the guidelines set by the pool management.

In summary, if there is no lightning and the conditions are safe, swimming during light rain can be fine, but always prioritize safety and check local regulations

WE ARE YET TO offer free swimming lessons to reduce drowning rate

By Darlington NkanduTopic:Safety

The rate of drownings has increased over a 10-year period.

In short:
Livingstone swim center Zambia is waiting to partner with the local pool owners in Livingstone to offer free swimming lessons to children who might otherwise miss out.

Parents and the public say the program will prevent more drownings that should be recorded at 100,000 people in remote regions than elsewhere in Livingstone according to Darlington Nkandu

What's next?

Senior Swimming coach Darlington Nkandu says he would like to see the program implemented across Livingstone
When Livingstone swim center Zambia business owner Evans discovered rural families were cancelling swimming lessons due to the cost of living, he knew he had to step in.Some of the best swim instructors in Livingstone, are yet to be mentioned decided to team up with us to provide free swimming lessons to more than 50 children who would otherwise miss out.

"I've got a young son myself, a one-year-old, he just loves water, and I think every kid should be able to enjoy hopping in the water and be confident in the water," Mr Evans said.

"There's no shortage of places here in Livingstone lodges or hotels to swim, whether it's the pool, a river, or towards the falls."

Giving rural kids an opportunity

Hoping and wishing any Pool owner be quick to jump on board and make the idea a reality.

"There's still a lot of people in Livingstone who cannot swim," Mr Evans said.

Livingstone swim center Zambia looks forward to all well wishers make the idea of a free swim program a reality.

"OUR STORY SINCE 1964" NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE OF ZAMBIA BOOK LAUNCHED

It was a prestigious moment that will never be forgotten in the history of Zambia's Olympic Movement, as the first National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ) book, "Our Story Since 1964," was launched on 24 January 2025.

The book is the first of its kind in Zambia and highlights key sports personalities, with an intriguing genesis in Zambia's participation in the Olympic Games.

National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ) president Alfred Foloko appealed to the government and other stakeholders to place the book in school libraries so that many scholars who lack knowledge about Zambia's history at the Olympic Games can get to learn and understand for the betterment of Zambia's sports development.

Foloko noted that the NOCZ through support from key stakeholders would continue to produce similar books as the initiative will not only end with the first edition but produce more so that sporting history can continue to be told and help the future sportsmen and women to do better by winning medals and trophies at the games such as the Olympic and Commonwealth.

He further paid gratitude to the fallen heroes featured in the book whom he says would have loved to see their history written and shared globally.

Launching the book Minister of Youth, Sport and Arts Hon Elvis Nkandu MP in a speech read on his behalf by Assistant Director Elite Sport in the ministry Gibson Muyaule disclosed that the NOCZ should be commended for taking the step to launch the book documenting Zambia's history at the Olympic Games.

The minister said the government under the leadership of Republican President Hakainde Hichilema has been advocating for; producing historic materials that society and the next generation can use to learn more about Zambia's Olympic history.

In addition, minster Nkandu said he would speak to line Ministries such as the Ministry of Education so that the book can be placed in School libraries a
