Perform a rotation of 360 degrees whilst treading water without flotation equipment. Learners rotate 360 degrees in an upright position whilst treading water. The body must be upright, with the head clear of the water. Movements made must be stress-free and relaxed. Learners may use a variety of kicks including scissor kick, running-type action, breaststroke kick and eggbeater kick. Hands must remain underwater and the outcome must be performed out of standing depth.
Swim England recognises that some learners may not be able to perform these outcomes identically to what is shown in the video. Swimming teachers have the responsibility to ensure that high standards are maintained. Learners should perform the skill or stroke as close to the intended outcome as their abilities allow.
