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.

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?
I don't have a video(yet.)What I do is try to have it as close to regular BR as possible except upside down and underwater ,so I start with a pull down and then do 4 strokes and come up flutterkicking.I think some SDK before the pull down may be a good idea and I am not sure it wouldn't be faster to forget the pulldown.For some I am sure it would be faster to do only pulldown type pulls.It is still a work in progress and YMMV.
