Front and back glides
Who
The instructor and the students
What
The instructor flips a coin and calls out heads or tails. If it is heads, the students do a front glide from the wall. If it is tails, they do a back glide from the wall. The instructor can vary the distance and duration of the glides.
How
The instructor needs a coin that can be flipped. The students need to be able to perform front and back glides from the wall. The instructor can use a stopwatch to time the glides and give feedback. Students can compete to see who can glide the farthest or the longest.
It makes sense to have swimmers move from bench to bench in a wave, or all at the same time. Make sure there is enough space between swimmers so they don’t glide over each other.
