    The document provides instructions for the prone position in swimming, including keeping the legs close together and ankles relaxed with toes pointed, kicking from the hips with a bend in the knees in a continuous up and down motion. It also describes entering the water thumb-first with the arms shoulder-width apart and pulling downwards with bent elbows, clearing the water just above the surface. Breathing involves lifting the head and pushing the chin forward while keeping it in the water and lowering it quickly but smoothly while releasing breath in a slow trickle, with two leg kicks occurring for every one arm action.
