Pretzel stick jump

In the same position as before: body fully extended, hands placed on top of each other, this time in waist-deep water. From the extended position, bend to the knees and jump as high as possible three times, fully extending the body at the highest point each time. This exercise simulates pushing off the pool wall by transitioning from a non-extended position directly into a fully extended one, similar to the water arrow.
