Backstroke Start

My backstroke start is more like a back flop.:( Can anyone suggest how I can get off the wall and into the water more cleanly (is that a word?)?

  • Lisa - Thanks. Watching the videos helped me to see how it should look. Quicksilver - Thanks for the advice on the head position. Thinking back to the last time I practiced starts, I recall that I was still looking at the starting block as I hit (literally, with a big splash and my back stinging) the water.
