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.

  • Breathing: Once per cycle, or twice per cycle (on every stroke)? Why or why not? Does it matter? We have a discussion of this upthread, from last August. Bottom line at the time was: Gary Hall Sr. suggests breathing once per stroke (twice per cycle), but Chris "Hung in the Lung" Stevenson breathes but once per cycle. I guess it's swimmer's choice. As a mammal, I have a peculiar fondness for air. I breathe twice per cycle.
