The English over-arm stroke is ac-quired most readily after the side leg motion is the same, except thatthe legs float a little closer to the sur-face of the water owing to the continu-ously submerged position of the head ex-cept while inhaling. Care must betaken in shoving the legs that they arenot kicked out of the water, otherwisethe leg action is the same. And so isthe body position, except, as I have said,that the head is thrown forward and un-der the water with each stroke. Thisincreases the basis of flotation; thewater is made to carry and support thehead all the time. Even when the in-halation is performed, only the righ
