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.

Do backstrokers swim with more of a bent arm pull or is the trend goiing to a straighter arm pull? When I say "straight" I don't mean locked out but with a slight bend in the arm.Check out this video of Ryan Lochte- max bend seems to be 90 degrees about mid way through the pull, but arms are relatively straight otherwise. This is how it was taught to me 30 years ago- it doesn't seem like it has changed.
