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.

Hold on, I'm going to need a LOT more caffeine before I fully decipher that... :anim_coffee:

Upper Upper quadrant (Above waist, above water) "finish recovery"
Upper Lower quadrant (Above waist, below water) "catch"
Lower Lower quadrant (below waist, below water) "bottom of pull"
Lower Upper Quadrant (Below waist, above water) "start recovery"
Essentially, in backstroke, the arms are opposite, and when fully extended at top and bottom of axis, they pull the chest cavity, expanding it in a natural inhale tendency.
In freestyle, the arms are never at such extremes. The recovering arm is above the waist before the pulling arm has crossed below.
