"Hi, I'm Olga and I'm Rotem. We're former professional swimmers and we're here on behalf of Expert Village. The next step we'll practice again the pulling part of the breaststroke, but now we'll add also the breathing. So you start with your arms closed, when you open your arms you take the head outside of the water and then back inside. When the head is outside you take in air, when it's inside you take the air out again. Make sure you take the head outside just when your arms are already open and before you close your arms make sure your head is back into the water."
