Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

I'm not a very fast backstroker, so I guess if there's any place I stand to gain, this is it. I'm changing my technique a bit. I didn't used to start exerting any significant force until my hand was even with my shoulder, then finished with the big sweep that mostly uses triceps. Instead I'm trying to 'dig in' with my hand as soon as possible and get some more effort into the pull.
