Shallow water: standing; half forward bend; strokes, breathing

ADDITIONAL EXERCISE for strokes coordinated with breathing, when we have troubles with body position on the surface. 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.
