i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Lie flat on your back on the water's surface, maintaining a streamlined, horizontal body position with your face looking upward.
  2. 2. Execution: Perform alternating arm pulls (reaching straight back over the water and entering with the little finger first) combined with a continuous flutter kick from the hips.
  3. 3. Safety: Maintain a steady, relaxed breathing rhythm since your face remains above water. Keep your core engaged to prevent your hips from sinking.
