<ol class="exercise-step-list">
<li class="step-setup"><strong>1. Starting position:</strong> Enter the water, lie flat on your front in a streamlined prone position with your face submerged and arms extended forward.</li>
<li class="step-execution"><strong>2. Movement / Execution:</strong> Sweep your arms outward and backward while lifting your head above the water to inhale. Simultaneously bend your knees, pull your heels toward your glutes, and whip your legs outward and together in a frog kick motion.</li>
<li class="step-safety"><strong>3. Tips and safety:</strong> Coordinate breathing with your arm stroke—inhale through your mouth as your head lifts and exhale steadily into the water during the glide phase. Avoid overextending your neck backward to protect the cervical spine.</li>
