Prerequisite: Completed all individual Belly-Flying and Back-Flying skills.
Desired outcome: Complete controlled half and full barrel-roll transitions from neutral belly or back flying while preserving heading and altitude.
Key points:
- Initiate with the lower body and allow the upper body to follow.
- Keep the legs controlled to limit unwanted forward drive.
- Stop each half in a defined neutral orientation before building the full roll.
- Complete the full roll as one continuous movement only after both halves are reliable.
