I recently posted a question about racing and received a lot of great answers so here is another question. I am about to participate in my first race (in a pool) and I am worried about being disqualified now. What are some of the common mistakes I need to be aware of? Turns maybe?

  • Yeah, the rules for the swim portion of backstroke are about as simple as they could possibly be: stay on your back. Other than that you can do whatever you want. Yep, except go under the lane line by accident and return to your own lane. Then you would be fully submerged before the finish.
