relaxation
sway stability

Transverse Abdominal

neural mobility whilst maintaining trunk stability

bilateral boards: moving one leg whilst maintaining the position of the other leg and trunk (best done in deep water) abduction/adduction, flexion/extension

flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction

endurance

balance and control (proprioception)

leg kick with trunk rotational stability + protraction/retraction

trunk stability + arm flexion/extension, abduction/adduction

rotation of legs and partial rotation of trunk (maintaining control at all times) : may use a 'noodle' in the hands instead of the boards if there is discomfort in the wrists
