342. Heron
Amend as follows:

From a Front Layout Position, a partial Front Pike Somersault (320) is executed to a Submerged Double Ballet Leg Position. One leg is lowered to a ((bent knee position)) Submerged Flamingo Position with the shin parallel to the surface and the mid-calf opposite the vertical leg, as the trunk moves toward the legs. From that piked position, the vertical leg remaining perpendicular to the surface, a vertical upward movement of the hips is rapidly executed as the body unrolls to a Bent Knee Vertical Position, with the foot of the bent leg moving simultaneously to the inside of the vertical leg during the rise. Maximum height is desirable. Maintaining the Bent Knee Vertical Position, the body descends along its longitudinal axis, at the same tempo as the rest of the figure prior to the thrust, until the toes are submerged.
