Jump in and immediately rotate 180 degrees to travel back to the side. Start with toes over the edge of the pool, jump upwards and forwards whilst eyes are looking forward throughout; land feet first in the water and allow the body to fully submerge. Once in the water, rotate and return to the side of the pool. The depth of the water needs to be appropriate to the size of the learner. The taller the learner, the deeper the water required.
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.
