How it's used
This term is specifically used in the context of swimming techniques rather than casual play. It is often associated with lifesaving training in Hong Kong because it allows the swimmer to keep their head above water while carrying a person or object. It is a technical term that remains consistent across both formal instruction and casual conversation.
