Lately I've been getting into breaststroke and fly, but I can't seem to find any enjoyment in backstroke. With the other strokes I have a real feeling for my body moving in the water, but with backstroke I might as well be running on land.
For those of you who enjoy backstroke, what do you like about it? What am I missing? Where's the fun in backstroke?

Backstroke to me feels like the way they describe waterboarding. I never feel like I'm getting a good breath and it often feels like I'm drowning.
Unfortunately it is my best stroke so I guess I'll stick with it.
Plus it is way better than that inefficient, satan-spawned stroke (***).
I'll remember that next time I swim next to you in a race. If that ever occurs, I will make you scream "Thank you sir may I have another?!" :drown:
Backstroke is also great for the tan. Of course if you have to swim indoors this time of year, that doesn't matter. We out here in the West, love this time of year. Outdoors 12 months yeah!
