Wow Your Friends : A Backwards Swim

You want to make an impression at the lake this summer, but you don't have any special swimming skills. You can't dive well, or swim fast. Is there any way to get noticed in the water?

Grab a kick board and head into the water. Instead of pointing your feet when you kick, flex them towards your knees. You will find that you aren't going forward, but backwards!

When you flex your feet the natural reaction of the legs is to kick away from you. This reaction results in a reverse of motion and you go backwards. It isn't easy to perfect, but if you can you will find people marveling at your skill.
