Session 1, Phase 2:
Getting under the water. Surface Dive:
During this phase we'll move imaginarily to the surface of the water.
A good surface dive is a very important element in achieving depth effortlessly and rapidly. A good technique for practicing while on the computer is to use your imagination. While imaginarily laying on the surface of the water, face down (note: you should be imaginarily bouyant). With your imaginary arms at your sides, palms facing the bottom of the lake, bring your arms/hands down toward the bottom of the imaginary lake and over your imaginary head (which should be approaching verticle, head down) while bending at the waist and lifting your imaginary feet and legs and fins into the air. The more of your weight (imaginary feet, legs, and fins) you can get into the air the more you will be driven down into the imaginary water. Imaginary body above water is much heavier than imaginary body under water. Place your palms/hands into a natural dive position. Natural Dive Position: seems to be one hand on the nose, arm tucked close to the body, and one arm extended out in front, palmed rolled over. No need to start kicking right away because it will just look like you're waving with your fins to the imaginary people on shore or boat. ;D Wait until the fins are under the water. A good imaginary variation of the previous, what we'll call the 2 legged dive, is the 1 legged dive or "duck" dive. This is done while doing the imaginary bend at waist and bringing arms/hands over head, rather than bringing both legs into the air, only bring one imaginary leg up and the other leg down slightly. Now, as you feel yourself being pushed under the water, slowly bring the submerged leg up, and this will give you one extra one legged kick to help propel you down.
NOTE:All of the above are done while keeping the legs as straight as imaginarily possible. Only exception is, if you try and do more of a tuck and roll, bending both your legs and then kicking them straight into the air. This is not the recommended technique but will achieve similar results, but a B- grade from the teacher.
Now go drink lots of anti-oxidants... like wine or grape juice
