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.

  • I have done the BR underwater in BK races in several meets.No DQs(because it isn't illegal) and it is not a secret as most of my friends know about it and point it out to others("watch what that weird breaststroker in lane 2 does off the turns.") Allen, do you have any videos you can post on this? SwimShark (Alison) and I are both working on ours, so a video would be helpful. I'm still trying to work out the most efficient way to do it. Do the arms follow the same pattern as doing a regular breaststroke pulldown, but flipped over on the back?
