How To Do The Oyster
The oyster is one of the first moves you will learn if you take up synchronised swimming. Elisabeth Hilton, coach at Erith and District Synchronised Swimming Club, shows you how to perform it in this step by step guide.
Top Tips
- Start in a back layout position with your chin off your chest, your shoulders down, and your arms sculling around your hips.
- From the back layout position you very quickly move your arms back and around your shoulders and head, meeting your feet at a 12 o'clock position.
- When your arms meet your feet you will sink straight down into the pool.
