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.

1) Is that legal? (Seriously) I always thought for back stroke after a start or wall you *have* to either dolphin kick or flutter kick your way back to the top.... Granted - I don't pay enough attention to the rules.
2) Please, swim more backstroke. The more you do it in competitions, the more chances I have to say "Hey! I almost came close to tying with Allen Stark in a race!"
1) No, both Free and Back have no restictions on the motion of the arms or the legs only on the position of the body in backstroke.
2) I agree.
