The Backstroke Lane

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.

  • As those who have read my other posts know,backstroke is my worst stroke,but as I was swimming today I was pondering whether some true backstrokers would be faster doing something off the wall other than SDK.My fastest way is swimming as close to 15M as possible breaststroke underwater on my back.I know that wouldn't be the fastest for normal people,but since not everyone has a great SDK and since swimming underwater gives less resistance than on the surface might something like BR pull/dolphin kick be faster for some of you.Something to ponder(or should I just stay in the BR lane.)
