Today's combination might look hard at first. It's normal to feel that way when your limbs are moving all over the place. The movement requires precision, timing, and body awareness. However, after you understand the steps, it becomes easy, fun, and, as you find your rhythm, natural too. To get started, you will need an aqua belt and a spot in the deep part of the pool.

The In-Out Sweep & Twist combines different movements that share the same starting position. The movements keep the entire body challenged with shifting positions and constant arm & leg pulls. Start slow, with longer pauses in the starting position, then gradually increase the speed at your own pace. Always inhale in the starting position, then exhale in the next move. However, if your movement is too fast for that breathing pattern, regular breathing works just as well.

Before you try the full combination, start with individual movements first. This will prepare your muscles and joints so you can perform the full movement safely. The steps below will guide you through a smooth progression with key details and benefits.

In-Out Arms & Legs Sweep

1

Stand with your arms wide and legs together, like a big T. From there, pull your arms down and spread your legs until your hands touch your outer thighs. That in-and-out movement should be slow and deliberate, with your limbs pushing against the water on both sides.

Moving your limbs in opposite directions takes coordination, so go slow at first and pause at the end of each phase. After a few reps, the movement becomes automatic, which allows you to focus on using your muscles.
