Instructions
Setup
Begin by lying face down in the water with your body in a straight, horizontal position.
Movement
Arm Motion: Extend one arm forward while the other pulls back through the water near your hip, alternating these movements in a continuous, rhythmic cycle.
Leg Motion: Keep your legs straight and engage in a continuous 'flutter kick,' moving your feet up and down in a small, rapid motion.
Breathing: Turn your head to the side to inhale as one arm clears the water, then return your face to the water as your arm re-enters.
Tips
Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain a stable, streamlined position in the water.
