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.

    Did anyone else notice the following? It appeared as though Missy Franklin didn't do any SDKs off the final turn in her 200 LCM backstroke victory at the Charlotte Ultraswim. This might be interpreted in at least two ways: 1) It is possible to swim the 200 back very fast without an excellent SDK, (which we already knew since there were some very fast times posted before anyone did SDK) and 2) Miss Franklin is going to be dangerously fast if she develops a good SDK. It has always been said that some swimmers are not faster SDKing than swimming. But it is a skill that is developed. Missy has been around awhile, but who knows what her coach will have her do as she continues to grow and get even stronger. 15? Sheez - far from finished!
