Backstroke arms with body dolphins! Try this to really put your co-ordination skills to the test! 🏊🏿‍♂️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Did you know that in backstroke you must touch the wall on your back. So swimmers need to have eyes in the back of their heads! we teach swimmers to count their arms from the flags to the wall so they know when the wall is coming.

Start in a line facing a partner. Hold onto either side of a kickboard or boogieboard. Swimmers kick "against" one another to try and push their partner backwards.

Somersault into streamline jump! Improve flexibility and strength on land to make swimming in the pool a WHOLE lot easier!

Learning to dive is a lot about the body position on the side of the pool before even hitting the water. Learning to throw the arms forward and covering the ears is an important part of learning the dive.
