During the session, we will improve your front crawl and back crawl technique for 15 minutes, with round trips and the management of the aquatic environment of the day. Then we will see together what is the ventral and dorsal balance.
Finally, we will end up with bodysurfing in the waves in order to finish in a playful and fun way in order to feel the sensations of sliding but also to learn to read the waves and know how to get back on the fine sand in complete safety.
