Starting block: immersing; gliding in supine position; swim out with backstroke kicks

ADDITIONAL EXERCISE for school backstroke dive when we have troubles with swimming to the surface with butterfly kicks. During the performance we focus on:

  • gliding long enough with extended body position and head fixed in between the extended arms,
  • gliding underwater where we control the depth with head and arm position,
  • backstroke kicks to get to the surface on time.
