Question

What is gliding on the water?​

Answer 1

Gliding in aquatic terms is the concept of floating through the water, either at the surface or underwater, without assistance or movement from the arms or legs. It usually begins with a forceful push from the poolside or solid edge in order to generate some propulsion.

Answer 2

Water surfing is:

• Swimming means walking in water (either above or below the water) without movement from the arms, legs, body or head (that is not kicking or no rowing).

• It usually starts with a strong push from the side of the lake or the rough edges to produce a certain movement.

• It is a matter of position in your arms and legs.

• Your hands and feet should be close together so that there is a more straight line so that water can easily move around you as your body cuts through it.

• If your hands and feet are separated your body shape will cause resistance to your movement will be less, if any.

• Any body shape can slip in water.
