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.
If I come up at the flags, I actually take fewer strokes per length on my back than I do if I come up at the flags on my front. I think it is because my kick is more propulsive on my back than on my front. (I am working on that by doing more front kicking using my snorkel.)
IMHO if we are having a discussion about increasing DPS we leave the kick out of it entirely...
I probably should have asked this to begin with...why are you trying to reduce the number ps strokes you are taking? Can you tell me what that would be for a 25 (yards)?
RedBird nailed it...if you are looking to swim faster ultimately just focusing on reducing your number of stroke cycles won't help as it involves everything.
