Swimming: Push and Glide - 1 float with hands by sides

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

Both hands on wall, feet on wall, knees bent. Push off wall, keep arms by sides. Glide

COACHING POINTS

Legs to be kept straight
Floppy ankles
Kick from the hip
Little splashes, feet just below surface of water
Head all the way back, eyes looking to the ceiling and ears in the water
Tummy should be pushed up so that it is just under the surface of the water If the head is lifted up, the feet will sink and the pupil will be in a bent position. Keeping the head back will bring the feet up.
