Original script for the video "Learning to Swim with the Hands and Feet Tied (or Glide Swimming): a step-by-step approach." Good morning! I’ll be teaching you how to swim with the hands and feet tied or glide swimming. A. First, we will do the foot-ward movement. 1. First, have the hands push up over your shoulders.

We are done with the foot-ward movement. Now we will go to the head-ward movement. 1. We will still have our feet joined by the rubber bands. The hands do the elementary backstroke. 2. With the elementary backstroke, you open your palms. Now we will close it so that the cause of the movement will not be much more of the hand but instead more of the gliding of the body and the action of the shoulder blades. 3. When you have mastered it, try to press your palms together and move head -ward. 4. Now we will place rubber bands on our wrists. I’ll demonstrate the head-ward <b>…</b>
