This document discusses four swimming techniques without forward motion: back floating, where one lies on their back with minimal leg movement to stay afloat; survival floating, similar to back floating but on one's stomach with periodic head raising to breathe; treading water, using kicks and hand movements to stay afloat with one's head above water; and sculling, a figure 8 hand movement to provide forward motion or upward lift in activities like surf lifesaving and water polo.

(WITHOUT FORWARD MOTION)

2. Back Floating
 (Also known as dead man float) Lying
on the back with a minimal leg
movement,and staying afloat with
the natural bouyancy,only the face is
over the water
this cycle is only to stay afloat and to
rest,

3. Survival Floating
 Similar to the back floating except on
the breast , the head is raised
periodically for breathing,This is very
useful for observing objects in the
water using a mask or goggles, Often
in combination with a snorkel

4. Treading Water
 The swimmer is in the water heads
up and feet down ,different kicks and
hand movements to stay afloat, this is
useful to keep the head out of the
water for a better view or to catch an
object as for example in water polo

5. Sculling
 This is a figure 8 movement of
the hands for forward motion
or upward lift ,use in surf
lifesaving, water
polo,synchronized swimming
and treading waters
