Starting with your arms behind you, press down with the head and chest.

Allow the hips to rise to the surface on the press, and allow the legs to whip through as they follow the flow of the body.

Amanda uses a slight push of the hands after the breath to throw her body down with a bit more force into the press.

While Amanda presses down a bit deeper than we'd suggest for learning swimmers, she's training to develop a stronger press.

When she integrates her arms into the process, she won't go as deep. At this stage of her career, she'll use this drill more for training, than for learning.
