My son lately always slow down in the back stroke finish. I am frustuauted to see slow down at least 2 sec in the finish touch. He says he is afraid of bumping his head to the wall. I have a couple of questions. It takes him approx 5 strokes (in SCY) from the flag to do back stroke flip turn, is that means he should count 6 to 7 strokes in the finish lap then do the finish stretch (head down & stretch) to touch the wall? Also is it standard length in all pools of the disttance from the flag to the end? What about 25 yd pool and 50 m pool are the flag distance the same in SCY & LCM? Thanks
Maybe someone can find a better clip with a closer view, but watch the finish in this race:

No one's head position changes on the approach the wall ... everyone has a straight arm on the last over-the-water recovery ...
