The focus of this week’s water confidence. Being able to conduct these movements back to back increases your chance of survivability in the water. This is represented by being able to stay on the surface without support, the ability to hold your breath and move efficiently through the water, ability to add weight/resistance and still move a distance in the water, and the ability to remain calm and relaxed while limiting your vision, breath, and range of motion in the arms.

Disclaimer:
Always conduct these workouts with a partner. If you don’t have one, always tell the lifeguards what you’re going to do so they can be your buddy. Safety is paramount, and will always come first, have a plan. Buddy system is always in effect.
