Brush the Wings: Forward and Backward Arm Circles Brain Break

What the coach says

The words of this video, from its captions.

Now let's brush the wings. We have 10 seconds of big smooth forward circles. Arms out like a T, keep them straight. Don't stop until you hear the ding. Ready? Go! Reach wide and forward circles. Stretch those shoulders. Swimmers use big circles to move fast in the pool. Are your wings out straight? Make them beautiful and long. Almost there. 3, 2, 1. Time. Now, 10 seconds going backwards. Ready? Begin. Keep your arms straight. Yeah, you're doing great. You look like you're ready to fly. 3, 2, 1. And time. Nice work.
