During the performance we focus on:

• lifting the head to inhale on time,
• breathing through mouth with focus on forceful exhale in the water

                                           and

• extended arms during the stroke,
• symmetrical arm movement,
• acceleration of the stroke,
• finishing the stroke in front of the line of the shoulders,
• bringing arms back with less  head-on resistance,
• long gliding with arms after bringing arms back.

To lenghthen the gliding we can count the kicks. We try to swim a distance with less kicks.
