ACTIVE TO PASSIVE FORM OF THE VERB

A backstroke style of swimming happens this way. Begin by floating on your back, arms down to your sides. Bring your hands over your chest to your shoulders. Reach straight outward and a little behind. Then pull your arms back to the side with force. At the same time you are beginning the arm movement, draw your knees back sideward, keeping your feet together. Then spread your legs wide to the sides (just as your arm pull begins) and snap them together to the starting position. Breathe through your mouth just before each stroke.
