by a trainee of at least one swing drill, the at least one swing drill including execution of the following steps:
a) placing one foot on a generally flat, level surface, and placing another foot on a pliable object positioned on the generally
flat, level surface, said pliable object providing an unstable support for said another foot;
b) gripping a first elongated spacer between two hands and parallel to a floor;
c) swinging the first elongated spacer in a backswing motion and an opposed downswing motion to bring the first elongated
spacer parallel to the floor; and
