Anybody have tips on the arm pull for the elementary backstroke? Especially for easing strain on the elbows? I've found that oulling with closed fists helps, but want to make sure I'm not making any technical errors.
I am back on crutches for my bad foot (old running injury), and so my other joints (esp. shoulders and opposite hip) are getting achy. Elem back is about all I can do for for a while.
Thanks for your help.

I am confused--elementary backstroke--the one where the arms do not come out of the water--kids learn this as "chicken, airplane, soldier". Double arm backstroke--arms are like regular back crawl stroke but both done together--arms out of the water?
