Freestyle Balance
    Slide #1 - The question of good balance in the water is fundamental to performance. We want our swimmers to shift their center of gravity "forward" (towards the head") to get the feel of swimming downhill. (center of gravity much closer to the center of buoyancy).

    In this first sequence, the instruction is to have water hit the head at the crown of the skull, and have the ear located "inside" the shoulder joint. The young lady then kicks on her side, in this position.
