Sometimes you need to play with the upper body posistion to help avoid bending your knees too much in order to keep your feet horizontal in the water. If someone were to watch you, they might suggest that you drop your shoulders back into the water a little more, and maybe you need to tilt your hips up towards the surface. Great ideas here, espeically posting a video so inquiing minds can offer more specific advice. Keep improving! :cheerleader:

When I was at a coaching clinic, one of the presenters said to think about kicking a ball. The knee bends a little then straightens.

As mentioned above, they do bend but not too much. Keep them relaxed and kick from the upper leg. Knees shouldn't break the surface of the water but the toes will

Bend your knees, but not too much. Ryan Lochte - Backstroke Technique - YouTube

W Vivian;274359]In the backstroke kick, should the knees bend or should the knees stay straight? I am trying to do a proper kick and for the life of me I cannot understand what I am to do.:)
