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.

    I could, but I'm not quite as good in the 200 (go figure, I'm a mid-dist freestlyer, not a sprinter). I've had more success in the 50 and 100. If I do 200 back in the next meet I might. Try it. Which nose clip do you use? I like the speedo metal one. I have found that it keeps water out but doesn't pinch my nose to the point that I can't exhale above water. I have also found that if I put my head into the right position, coming off the walls, then I don't need a nose clip at all.
