-body is horizontal, with the head in line with the spine and facing down. -start with the arm extended forward, fingers together, and hand slightly angled down and pull the arm underwater in a semi-circular motion, keeping it close to the body. -inhale quickly and to the side by turning the head with the arm that's recovering over the water. and exhale underwater. - use a flutter kick, keeping legs relatively straight with a slight bend at the knees
- maintains a horizontal body position on the water's surface. The body should be straight, with the head in a neutral position, and the hips close to the surface to reduce drag. - arms should move in a continuous alternating motion, with a high elbow position during the pull phase - A flutter kick is used in backstroke, with the legs kicking in an alternating up-and-down motion -breathing is continuous and natural, or bilaterally to maintain balance and symmetry.
- the head in line with the spine and the body close to the surface of the water - arm pull involves a simultaneous movement of both arms, sweeping outward and then inward in a circular motion - hands should scoop outward, then pull in towards the chest. - exhale underwater and inhale quickly as they lift their head above the surface. - kicking should have feet turned outward, then propel outward and backward in a circular motion, generating propulsion.
-Treading Water: Ability to stay afloat in the water using various techniques -Floating: Capability to maintain a horizontal position on the water's surface without assistance. - Diving Techniques: Proficiency in safe and controlled entry into the water from a standing or diving position - Basic Rescue Skills: Understanding of basic rescue techniques, such as reaching or throwing assists, and knowledge of how to respond in emergency situations
-maintains a streamlined body position, with the hips high and close to the surface of the water - the arms should enter the water simultaneously, followed by a powerful dolphin kick. - rhythm should be smooth and continuous and move in a circular motion, starting from an extended position in front of the body, sweeping outward and then downward to generate propulsion -synchronization between the arms, legs, and body
