As correct intertiming of head and arm movements is essential to gain body balance in the crawl, the confbined. action should be given a brief trial, standing on bottom before undertaking. it in a swimming "position.

Bend forward, extend right arm in front and left arm back- the ward, hands touching water, and turn to the left Then, without moving head or shoulders, simultaneously

sweep the right arm down and back, the left up and forward.

The right should press. directly down, grazing the thigh in pussing the left should circle high and strike the surface close to where the right arm started.

Next turn head and shift shoulders to right, repeating the movements in the opposite direction, left moving down and back, right up and forward. When you can guide the head and shoulders with fair success, try actual swimming.

Start with a push-off, set the feet in motion, then press directly down and back with the left arm, keeping head and shoulders straight. As this arm nears the thigh, presa down and back with the right arm, at the same time twisting the head and rolling the entire body, feet and all, to the left, bringing the left arm out of the water.

Retain the position now assumed while the left arm sweeps forward above the water and the right drives back- ward. Then, when the left arm hits the surface and starts to press down, again, twist the head and roll the body right, keeping it so rolled throughout the forward motion of the right arm and backward of the left. Do not hurry the movements.
