Next up we have to alligator scull. This scull takes place on your stomach with your face in the water. Again, your heals, your hips and the back should be as close to the surface as possible. Your traveling towards your head, so this is considered a head first scull. Your arms are nice and stretched above your head, and you?re pulling your body forward this time, as opposed to the torpedo scull where your pressing everything away, pressing the water away from you. You?re pulling your body forward. This helps you with your figures that start on your stomach and allow you to pull yourself down into the water without splashing. That's alligator sculling.
