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 tried a hybrid of SDK/ breaststroke off the turn, today.... A couple of dolphin kicks off the wall (on my back, of course), a breaststroke (on back) pulldown, kick, then a few more dolphin kicks.
Next experiment: Sequential u/w *** on back ...
Well, Elaine, what did you discover? Was the mixed version better than the pure upside down breaststroke? Did you have someone timing you?
