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.

  • Well, Elaine, what did you discover? Was the mixed version better than the pure upside down breaststroke? Did you have someone timing you? Well, I haven't reported back, because I have not been able to get anything timed yet. Since I'm going out of town for a couple of weeks, it looks like it will be awhile before I can get my husband to time me on both versions. But, I can say that I think my mixed version will be faster. Unfortunately, though, my lung capacity is such that I definitely don't think I would be able to do the full amount of allowed yardage on each lap of any race beyond a 50 backstroke or 100IM. :blush: It sure is a great for my lungs trying to do it! If nothing else, my lung capacity will improve. :applaud: It's fun, too. :)
