During the circuit, learners should show that they can pause, float and restart. When going under water, learners should exhale slowly, keeping their eyes open.
Head first surface dive: From a floating position, pull (hands move from extended out in front of the body to hands by hips) with both arms and tuck head/chin down, hips push upward and rotate the body sharply into a vertical position with the legs extended; the body sinks vertically, whilst maintaining a streamlined position.
Feet first surface dive: from treading water learner's Initiate one large breaststroke kick; At the same time the arms extend above the head into a streamlined position and the learner sinks vertically.
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.
