Kip combined spin | Artistic Swimming Figures

A video demonstration of how to execute Swim England Artistic Swimming Figure Grade 4, Element 12.
The element is a kip combined spin (Fig 311j DD 2.4).
From a back layout position the knees, shins and toes are drawn along the surface of the water to assume a tuck position. With continuous motion the tuck becomes more compact and a partial somersault back tuck is executed until the shins are perpendicular to the surface of the water. The trunk unrolls as the legs are straightened to assume a vertical position midway between the former vertical line through the hips and the former vertical line through the head and the shins. A rapid combined spin (360 degree + 360 degree) is executed followed by a rapid vertical descent.
