Right now what we want to talk about are our arms when we move, okay? A lot of people like to keep their arms plastered to their side as they walk on the diving board. It's not good. I'm going to teach you how to swing your arms through your hurdle, through your approach to make it the best possible, okay?

Step one, two, three, the arms come forward, okay? Four, the arms start to move back. Five, the arms are all the way back, okay?
