ADDITIONAL EXERCISE for coordination when we have troubles with coordinating the strokes and the kicks. During the performance we focus on:

• extending the body at the same time as the arms are returning, the head is lowering between the arms and as we do the kick,
• long gliding in extended body position after the kicks, strokes and cycle

                                            and

• knees so that they are narrower than the feet at the kick out,
• bringing the feet up,
• properly wide kick out,
• symmetrical leg movement,
• not bending the knees under body too much,
• 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,
• lifting the head for inhale at the proper time,
• lowering the head quickly and actively.
