I'm baaaaack! Well, at least I'm back with something different this time. :D I have been working on a faster backstroke open turn and would like any constructive criticisms/ suggestions you can offer. PLEASE do not suggest I do a flipturn, as I have mentioned too many times before that I can't do them, because of my inner ear problem (Meniere's).

Thank you very much!
:agree:
The one comment I'd offer is to make sure your lower legs, from just above the knee, clear the water completely. This will help you "snap" around quickly.
Yep; you are so right! I have been working on my backstroke a lot, since I have had troubles with injuries on breaststroke. When I first started, I couldn't get my lower legs out at all. When I look at old videos of my 50 backstroke, they barely came out at all. I started playing with it, though, and trying different things. When I finally succeeded at getting my legs out and snapping my turn, I felt like this: :bliss: It felt SO fast! So, I have been working on improving it ever since and have had more success going to the left than my right. But, I will keep working on it! It's fun!!
Thanks for the suggestion and video clip- COOL!
