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?)?

  • I was still looking at the starting block as I hit (literally, with a big splash and my back stinging) the water. I used to do this too. Until my coach told me to throw myself back into oblivion with hands locked and be looking at the other end of the pool. SwimmerLisa is a youtube expert! She will be contributing to OCD, I think.
