Q; elementary backstroke

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'm older than Cin and I wasn't taught the double arm pull either... I was however taught what you all are calling the elementary backstroke, but I think it was called the back breaststroke then... memory is the first thing to go :D
