Technical elements
Ready when: the coach confirms the middle-grade figures.
What the coach teaches
The hardest moves of a technical routine, with names such as flying fish spinning, hybrids, combined spins and duet combinations. These are names of advanced moves; the coach shows what each one is.
At home, safe only
None specific; sleep and nutrition advice from the club.
Ask the club
The training volume per week and the competition calendar.
What you can see from the side
Clean positions held high out of the water.
Self-check what the coach confirms
The coach records a pass on each element.
Stop and get a coach when
