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.

Don't remember anyone doing the double arm backstroke in competiton in the late 1960's and I started back in 1969. Learn the single arm pull,so of course I don't do the double arm pull.
