Back Layout Sculls for Synchronized Swimming

Video Transcript

My favorite part about synchronized swimming is the figures. Before we learn how to do the figures, we need to learn how to do the basic skills to keep our body above the water, be able to use our legs and hold ourselves up with just our arms. We are going to start with the standard back layout skill. Your hands are down by your side. Your face is out of the water. You'll be laying on your back. You turn your hands out, push them out, turn them in and bring them in. Out, out, in, in. This is going to help you stay afloat on your back without moving your feet. The idea is to keep your hips up, your ears back in the water, your chin lifted, and try to smile. Head is back, hips are up, toes are nice and pointed, ankles together, ears back in the water, hands are a little bit beneath the hips. Keep your hands flat towards the bottom, so you try not to travel and smile. This is the standard back layout.
