Treat your walls like a “hot plate” and get on and off them as quickly as possible. As your lead arm touches the wall bring your legs up under you and let your upper body fall back into the water. DON’T try to turn on the wall with your body out of the water, you will create too much drag and lose your momentum. You must get your upper body back into the water as quickly as possible. After your lead hand touches the wall bring one arm to your side in a 90 degree position while you bring the other hand to your ear. We call this “elbow the robber and call a cop!” As you leave the wall your arms should extend over your head in a streamline position. As your body falls back into the water plant your feet on the wall sideways, this will allow you to push-off the wall more on your side. Your body should now be in a streamline position and follow the same procedure as in streamlining off the wall. DonW
