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.

I use as Gary Hall suggests, every stroke. I also wear a nose clip for the 50 and 100, but not the 200. I find that the nose clip not only helps for UW (not having to exhale), but keeps the minute amount of water that can get in my nose and the back of my throat, which causes me to have to swallow and throws my breathing off.
This past weekend I forgot my noseclip in the 100 and suffered for it (59.99), but did wear it in the 50 and had a great swim (26.88)
Why not try it for a 200?
