Instructions


1. Stretch our your last stroke as you near the wall, so you're
at a glide by the time your hands reach the side of the pool.

2. Touch the wall with both hands, draw your legs up into a crouching position, and pull your whole body up to the wall. This is a good time to take a quick breath.

3. Twist around so that you're facing the water instead of the wall, while simultaneously placing both feet up against the wall so that you're ready to push off.

4

Glide.

7
Pull your arms through the water down to your sides and glide.

9
Break the surface and begin swimming breaststroke.
