Rich - I commented in your swims on the other site, but after someone (was it Jim?) commented on your backstroke, just thought I'd add this about the 50 back. The start was different. Watch Fortress' start, and try to do it like that. I wish I could, mine is just a huge backflop. Her start is very good, almost flawless. Same for the turn. Your kicking is way too big and splashy. Read Donna's comments about the kick on Fort's swim. The kick should be very tight and rapid with the toes just barely breaking the surface.
