Body Jumps for Synchronized Swimming

Next up we are going to learn how to body jump. Just like you see water polo players jump up out of the water and block the ball. Synchronized swimmers do a lot of body jumps. It's a thrusting motion to show various arm movements and you can work different facial expressions with it but it is a good aerobic workout as well to do body jump laps. In order to begin this technique we can start on the wall. The eggbeater kicking that we learned before is very necessary for this. You want your legs to be behind you, eggbeater kicking, your shoulders are forward and your hips as high to the surface as possible. You would circle your legs around while holding on to the wall, count to three, pull up on the wall, squeeze your legs together, thrust your body up straight.
