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.

It isn't hard to beat me in BK.My 60-64 PB for 50 BR is 30.3,my PB for 50 BK is 34.3.Yes ,that is a 4 sec difference,and it only gets worse with longer distances.I entered a 200 BK once and had to make sure the timers had calendar watches.
Allen, my 50 BK was 5 seconds slower than my 50 BR in Saturday's pentathlon! :cane: But, here's the funny thing about it: After my "race" :lmao:, one of the other swimmers said I had good rotation and a strong kick. I thought he was joking! But, he sent me a message suggesting I should consider making backstroke my second stroke! (By the way, this swimmer happens to be very fast. I looked him up and he ranked around 20th in every event he competed in, since joining USMS at the beginning of the year.) OK, so my backstroke may look good, but the video shot of me looks like I was swimming in slooooow motion! I think my fly (or IM) has more potential... So, it looks like I'll be sticking with you in the Breaststroke Lane! :D
