Why we teach front glides and back glides immediately instead of doggie paddle. Positives Glides are face in Glides are easier to move farther with less effort Glides when done correctly have same body position as all other strokes, Fr, bk, be, fly Proper glides have arms in same position as swimming the strokes Requires one body position to do well, position 11 or soldier.
