Week 6-ish Update

Just got back into the swing of things a few days ago. Surprisingly I'm not astronomically out of shape after not a few weeks off... So now I will write about different strokes.

Breaststroke: performed face down in the water without rotating the torso. The arms stay in the water and move synchronously, while the legs perform a whipkick. It is possible to keep the head elevated out of the water throughout the stroke, although the head usually dips in and out.



Backstroke: Both arms move synchronized (They begin out like an airplane, then go beside the body like a soldier then they run up your sides and back out to an airplane position) with whip kick (breaststroke kick).



This is the turnover I'm hoping to learn:
