I swim in an outdoor pool year-round. When I do backstroke I take note of a palm tree or a parked car and try to keep in line with it. Otherwise I swim down the black line on the bottom of the pool or to one side of it if I am sharing the lane and circle swimming. That is a good idea. But I would say , forget the land marks . Maybe in another pool at a meet, might not be agood idea. I think you have to learn the guide lines of the pool. Dom.
