My backstroke is well behind my other strokes at this point and I'm really struggling to figure it out despite input from coaches and watching videos. So I'm thinking I might be better off breaking it down into details and I need some input. My first question is this. Should I start rotating from the millisecond I begin my pull or stay on my side longer before rotating. The second question is where should I be in my rotation by the time I finish that last push with the hand? Should I be flat at that point and then just finish my rotation to get the recovery arm into the water. Should my recovery arm be straight up at that same point (flat on the water). Thanks.
I thought I had my backstroke down until I read your post. Now I'm doubting if I'm rotating correctly.
Nevertheless, have you compared footage of your own style to a pro and noticed this inconsistancy?
