This scissor kick is a front and
back opening and closing of the legs,
which closely resembles the move
ments performed in walking on tiptoe
with short steps, quite natural move
ments, let it be remarked, incidentally.
When used with the crawl stroke,
the scissoring motions afford
steady thrash, as the legs work stimuli
taneously. one moving up as the
other whips down. and this results IN
continuous propulsion.
But by making some Of the scissors
wider than others, or changing the
number performed to each full cycle
of the two arms. thrashes varying in
scope, rhythm and speed obviously are
obtained, and that has led to the clas-
sitication of crawl styles under differ
cnt headings, accordingly.
AS. however. the So-called six and
eight beat double rhythm varieties
have now established their greatest eff
ficiency and generally are accepted as
the standard types, we may here dlS'
pense with the others.
They call for the execution of six
and eight scissor kicks per double-arm
stroke. with the first and fourth kicks
in the former. or the first and fifth IN
the latter. made a bit wider and more
vigorous thus tmpartlng TO the thraSn
rhythm.
Experiments have indicated that If
the beginner makes no attempt 10
gain any particular action, but always
sets the feet in motion before the
arms and makes the thrash narrow.
comfortably fast and easy, he or she
will develop unconSciously the double
rhythm. which is the natural rhythm,
as well as the speed of thrash best
suited to his, or her, individual phys
ical resources.
The best plan. therefore. is just to
let nature take its course. but to pay
particular attention to keeping the
legs completely relaxed, use little ef-
fort and confine the drive to a width
of six to eight inches. as one OF the
prevailing fruits among novfces Is to
