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.

In an "About.com" article on backstroking, Matt Leubbers suggests that faster feet make for faster arm stroke...

In my swimming of backstroke, I don't make this connection. Faster arm cycles are more a function of the cadence (or tempo) I set in my head, not at all a function of my kick.
What do you backstrokers make of this theory?
