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.

  • Thanks! I definitely see the overreach. SDK needs improvment for other strokes as well. Seems to be the first thing that goes when I get tired. On the backstroke kick, I have a much smaller aplitude/higher frequency kick when I just kick. That has improved significantly over the last few months. However, I can't seem to coordinate it with hip rotation. Maybe it's something that works out with practice? Or perhaps if I concentrate on the smaller amplitude kick, I'll find the right timing easier?
