When the hands and feet can each do their separate parts, get them working together as follows: as the hands and arms apply the power, the legs are being brought up for the kick all at the word one. The kick is made as the hands meet the chest, and the sweep with the soles continues the rythm as the hands are brought to the front in the recovery. By these movements, power is always being applied, either by hands or feet. The arms are working the legs are recovering and visa-versa. A half a second ought to elapse before the hands are parted; this will give confidence to the pupil, and will keep him from smimming too fast when he begins water-work.
