COACHING POINTS

  1. Legs should be straight, with action starting from the hip and a slight bend in the knee 
  2. Floppy ankles 
  3. Encourage them to makes splashes with their feet, but ensure feet don't come too far out of the water 
  4. Endeavour to get faces in water, eyes looking down. If not confident enough to do this, ensure kicking is done with chin on water to encourage good body position
