The Backstroke Lane

over 14 years ago
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.

    Yesterday's workout, SCY all backstroke, inspired by this comment, You need to work on: -- technique ... You can use fins to work on the proper streamline position ... -- kicking conditioning/strength. Do 25 all-out sprints (ideally no-breath "shooters" if you can) ... -- on backstroke sets ... You need to have a minimum number of kicks off EVERY wall -- realistic "kicking goal plan" 600 warmup 4 x (25 shooter w/ fins + 25 EZ kick). Focus on streamline. 4 x (25 shooter no fins + 25 EZ kick). I can barely make it, but I can make it. It currently takes 24-28 dolphins per 25. That's something I can work on. 2 x (50 fast, within 2-3 sec of PB, 5 dolphins each wall + 50 EZ kick). 3 x (100 fast, within 5 sec of PB, some number of dolphins + 100 EZ kick). 200 swimdown Not many yards, but I was wrung out. After the last set, it looks like a near-term "realistic kicking plan" in the 100 for this noob is going to be something like 4-3-2-1 for the start & three walls, and that I'll be lucky to have a minimum number of 1. Hey, it's a start.
