The Backstroke Lane

ande
over 14 years ago
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.

    What is a good stroke rate/stroke count for a 50y back? Today, I swam some 50s pretty hard, and I was going 13 strokes/flip/15 strokes. This is the fewest I've ever done and close to my freestyle, and it felt pretty good. The pace clock was off today, so I don't know how fast they were. I am working a lot on back, because it is the weak point of my 100 IM. Thanks for any advice. It really depends on how far you streamline off each wall and a bit on your height. I just watched a 100 scy back race of Ryan Lochte and I counted 8 strokes per lap. I don't swim scy so I can't tell you how many strokes I take, but my stroke count in backstroke is 1-2 less than my freestyle which is why I belong in the backstroke lane ;p
