Basic swing

Basic skill

• A good swing on rings takes a much longer time to develop than high bar.
• The gymnast must keep tension on the rings at all times.
• On the forward swing the gymnast should try to turn over quickly then push the rings back and extend as much as possible. The rings should be turned in so that the gymnasts palms are facing back.
• On the rearward swing the gymnast should drive their heels aggressively keeping their shoulders and chest pressed downas they rise. The rings should be turned outward, and pressure must be kept.
