My backstroke is so piss poor that I'm faster at breaststroke than I am at backstroke. I'm swimming 25 back at the sprint classic in about 2 weeks, so I need to figure out how to swim it preety soon. If anyone has any advice for me on backstroke I would love to hear it becasue I'm trying to win that fastest man award at the classic and I have a feeling that backstroke is going to prevent me from doing so. I went a 15.2 in meters yesterday. That time is not going help me at all. My stroke is sub-par, my underwaters are weak, and my finish is sketchy becase there are no backstroke flags at the pool I swim at so I never get a chance to practice it. I know how to swim it but I just can't do it and I'm not good at it. The 25 backstroke is going to be an adventure for me at the classic. But if anyone has any tips for me I would appreciate it.
yeah I guess it is long term but I don't ever race backstroke or the IM so I never practice backstroke but I'm just hoping for just one solid lap. I looked at the results from the past sprint classics and I think I can beat Clay Britt in free and *** and maybe fly but definatly not back. However if I get like 5th or 6th in back thats not going to help me. They do an average of the finishes right? But hopfully I can out touch some people or surprise myself like I did today in practice. I went a top scm time in the 50 *** without a block, 32.40, that coverts to a 29.19. My best scy time is a 28.33. I looking for a top time at the classic. It should be a fun meet.
You know, I'm not sure. I thought they added up all 4 25s and the lowest total was declared the "fastest." If so, that would be better for you.
There are some fast breaststrokers to help push you in the 50 BR. But not Wally Dicks -- torn RC. You should do well. It is a fun meet, pretty fast pool. So you should get some good times.
Good luck in your quest!
