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.
Hey Taruky, I'm new at back too. What I do find very helpful as a drill is bk with arms moving at same time, a short axis backstroke if you will. It prevents overreaching and keeps feet kicking in line.
But let's see what the experts say first though;).
