| 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,more active wave movement during the cycle,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 muchbent 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.     |  |
