I find it much harder to reduce the stroke per length in backstroke than in free. In free, you can glide a long distance in each stroke, but not so in backstroke. What should I work on, the pull, or the kick, or the coordination of the hand and leg? Appreciate any comments.
Just in any stroke lots lots of drills that put intense focuse on catch, DPS & glide. In reality you should be taking pretty close to the same number of stokes in back as you do in free (if you do the same SDK).
