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.

  • Ande - Thanks for the "bump". Lately, I've started doing more sets of 200 backstrokes, trying to sustain my performance across the set (total time), while trying different splits in each. Example, 1st 200 I go 50 fast, 50 stretch, 50 stretch, 50 fast; 2nd 200 go 50 stretch, 50 fast, 50 fast, 50 stretch. It's interesting how different the fast and stretch feel based on where in the 200 they come, and in which 200 of the set. Anyone have other "fun" sets they've been experimenting with?
