During the performance we focus on:

• hand entry in the line of the shoulder by the same side,
• scooping the water (start of the stroke) with extended arm,
• correct arm bending during the stroke,
• finishing the stroke with forearm movement back to the body,
• acceleration of the stroke,
• correct body twisting where we move shoulders back and forth coordinated with the stroke,
• extended arm when approaching the surface,
• extended position of the stationary arm

                                            and

• fixed head position on the surface in the body extension.

If the student is less buoyant, the teacher supports his/her thighs or knees.
