How to Do a Forward Swizzle on Ice Skates

Hi I'm Simone Fisher and I'm here at Clearwater Ice Arena in sunny Clearwater Florida. On behalf of Expert Village. Hi I'm Georgia Delile with the Clearwater Ice Arena, and I'm going to show you how to do proper forward swizzles, backward swizzles and backward wiggles. To do a proper forward swizzle, you begin by placing your feet in a V position you want the heels of your skates to touch not the blades. Leaning slightly in on the inside edge. You'll bent your knees slightly and lift your arms to about the counter top height. Placing the hand in V position just slightly in front of the body. You push out using the thigh muscles. And then squeeze in using the inner thigh muscles squeezing together pulling the toes together. And then giving the feet a hug. Again it's a V position, heels together pushing forward, pulling the thighs together, pulling the toes together and then the feet get a hug.
