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?
i'll take 10x200 backstroke over 10x200 freestyle any day of the week. alot more interesting stuff to look at around the pool deck, rather than staring at the bottom all the time.
plus what other stroke allows you to:
a) see your 50 splits as you come off your turn (assuming scoreboard/clock is behind the blocks, which it usually is). works great for a 200.
b) easily see at any time how far behind you your competitors are
