Description
- Swimmers stand about 6 metres away from the side of a wall with adequate spacing between each swimmer
- On the word ‘go’ they swim towards the wall, touch it with both hands and perform a forward roll
- Without touching the bottom, they push off with both feet and flutter kick on their backs towards the starting point
- With more advanced swimmers you may choose to pair the swimmers up and have the second swimmer a couple of seconds behind the first. When the first rolls of the wall, he or she remains underwater and swims below the second swimmer, watching the second swimmer pass over
