ADDITIONAL EXERCISE for coordinating strokes and breathing when we have troubles with the body position. During the performance we focus on:

• lifting the head to inhale on time,
• lowering the head quickly and actively

                                           and

• bent arm pull (the hands reach a position in front of and slightly outside the width of the shoulders),
• symmetrical arms movement,
• acceleration of the stroke,
• finishing the stroke at the horizontal plane through the shoulders,
• bringing arms back with less  head-on resistance,
• long gliding with extended arms after finishing the stroke.
