We got it and yes it was good.
First you learn the frog kick...
Then you learn to reverse the frog kick...
As with a normal frog.. kick and glide only backwards...
Or you can use reverse action sculling for small movement...
Roakey & MikeFerrara are correct.
Susan, I'll be glad to work on this with you in July.

UP,
Nice description of swimming in reverse. Seems silly but I have tried to describe it and never thought to call it a reverse frog, but thats what it is. Huh

Now that I understand the "how", I guess I can imagine the "why". A small crack or some other defect might cause a regular influx of water...
Thanks!
So how about some more of those "fun" skills....?

I found opportunity to make use of a trained skill (at least, done once in training), which one ordinarily might not think needed, which is, removal and donning of bc/tank underwater.
Case in point: for some reason, I jumped in without my wetsuit rear zipper zipped. Fortunately, water not that cold (tropics), and didn't notice this until at depth; wanted to get it zipped up. Also, fortunately, had slate, otherwise, not sure what buddy would've thought. In any case, doffed the stuff, got my suit zipped up by buddy, donned, and was more comfy for rest of dive.
