Thursday - Vertical Butterfly Jumps

https://www.goswim.tv/lessons/3161-vertical-butterfly

Using the momentum of the jump to allow the hands to stay in position.

From the beginning

Remember the mantra - float diamond angel swing

:16 - when you jump from the bottom, that hands can better stay in one place to isolate the positions.

Hands anchor JUST under the surface.

:25 - water must be deeper than the swimmer with arms extended

:28 - crouch or squat in float position

:33 - see the hand anchor - diamond

:41 - Angel position

:44 - look at the slight break of the wrist on exit for a palm back, wrist forward recovery.

This also works on rhythmic breathing
