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.

Well, it must have been the 1968 (or 1972?) Olympics. My whole family used to watch all of the Olympic Games together. I was 7 years old at the time. I have a vivid recollection of seeing something like the elementary backstroke, except very vigorous and undulating -- like an inverted butterfly. Did this really happen, or have these pain-killers fried my memory circuits?
I also remember seeing Kohoutek (extra credit), and being very disappointed.
