Now that you’ve mastered the ready position push off to the angled body line, it’s time to see why.

This drill ads one component to the previous skill.
Drop down from the ready position.
Push off in streamline to the slightly angled body line.

Now, take the bottom hand and allow it to fall back… like a pull, but don’t put too much force behind it.

Keep the other hand extended and allow your body to rotate nearly all the way onto your back.

This is a foundation position that will start the process of building your stroke, so don’t rush through this.

You don’t have to push off as far as our swimmer does, but the movement should be this simplified.  

Again, drop down push off to the angled position.  

Allow the bottom hand to release from the streamline and fall back… like a pull, but easier.

As the hand lands on the side of the thigh, roll your body on to your back and start a flutter kick on your back.
