Video 200m backstroke

Well, if you want my two cents... First of all, excellent start and turns. You also move a lot of water with each stroke, so don't take too much criticism from anyone. I'm not really sure, but it looks like you may be entering with your hand a little bit behind your head (more with your right than your left). I would work on entering directly behind your shoulder. I would also like to see you hips higher in the water and rotating a little more to help drive your shoulders. One final point is that I remember you posting about your 100 back a while ago. Obviously just guessing here, but I would bet your biggest issue there is turnover rate. I used to be a 200 backstroker and tried to use a stroke similar to yours for the 100 as well, and it just didn't work. The 100 has to be swum with a much higher turnover. All in all, a very good 200.
