1. Practise pushing from the side and doing a somersault
2. Now try swimming five strokes and then doing a somersault
3. Now swim towards the wall and do a somersault putting your feet on the wall as you go over.
4. Now practise pushing away from the side underwater and streamlining (flat and thin with one hand on top of the other)
5. Once you can do this try adding a leg kick and then starting to pull as you reach the surface.
6. Finally, put the whole thing together - swim, tumble, push off, streamline and swim
Now you have got the whole thing working, try practicing it every time you swim front crawl. You will soon find that it becomes smoother and quicker.
1. Swim to the wall quickly
2. Turn when you see the "T" on the bottom of the pool Tuck your head in tight
3 Put your feet on the wall approx. 0.5m under the surface. Stretch arms out before you push away from the wall
