Matching Pairs Difficulty of RoutinesOnline version Without using the FINA manual, match the following difficulty items to accurately describe routines in the Good (7.0-7.9) and Very Good (8.0-8.9) categories. by Lisa Devana Balcombe 1 Transitions: Good (7.0-7.9) 2 Transitions: Very Good (8.0-8.9) 3 Patterns: Good (7.0-7.9) 4 Strokes & Propulsion: Good (7.0-7.9) 5 Figures & Hybrids: Very Good (8.0-8.9) 6 Figures & Hybrids: Good (7.0-7.9) 7 HIghlights: Very Good (8.0-8.9) 8 Patterns: Very Good (8.0-8.9) 9 Strokes & Propulsion: Very Good (8.0-8.9) 10 Highlights: Good (7.0-7.9) Transitions:Basic actions between movements. Medium difficulty. Figures & Hybrids: Very high difficulty in some figures showing sustained airborne height and complex actions. Demonstrates some complex offbalance leg angles, isolation moves, multiple rotations and combinations of actions. Difficulty may be restricted to certain actions and is more widely spaced. Some high risk. Patterns: Frequent difficult pattern changes with swimmers generally in close proximity Highlights: Medium level risk moves with less complexity in positions, sequences and length of action. Small number of rotations, offbalance and airborne weight moves. Figures & Hybrids: Medium difficulty mainly at the beginning and scattered through. Limited to elements in which swimmers are most comfortable. Mostly single leg actions with few angles and change in body positions. Medium length figures with moderate range of flexibility. In team, many figures not performed by all swimmers. Strokes & Propulsion: Medium difficulty mainly at the beginning and scattered throughout. Many one arm or head only moves, some double arms. Transitions: Lacks some difficulty and complexity in transitions. Patterns: Simple, small blind changes, limited number of pattern changes and more underwater changes than at the surface. Highlights: Generally performs high risk moves with some complexity. Difficulty is spread throughout the routine. Strokes & Propulsion: Well balanced throughout routine. Some sequences using both arms, some complexity of moves showing different angles Minor breaks in intensity.
