Bobbing Drill

Here is the bobbing drill- the first drill you will do in the level 1 class.
It's improtant to relax and let out each breath between each breath.
In class, we tell swimmers to hold onto the lane rope or the wall.
When your lungs are full of air, you are buoyant, so you need help pushing yourself underwater.
As you let out your air SLOWLY, you will find your body sinking. The wall comes in handy when you need to pull yourself up to take a breathe.
This drill will help when you are swimming, drilling, or kicking with your face in the water.
The drill forces you to constantly breathe.
You breathe out when your face is in the water. You breathe in when your face is out of the water.
The key is that you are constantly breathing.
