Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to prevent my legs from dropping as I attempt to backstroke? I learned how to swim last year, but I did a lot of faking it by not really using my legs that much. This year I want to do it right so I can't seem to make both my arms and legs move at the same time.

I guess I didn't ask the question well.

If your leg position is good when your arms aren't moving then how can your statement be valid. The arms are neither entering or finishing?
