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.

Yep, I heard this quote too... but it doesn't seem to help my "catch" as much as putting the middle of my underwater pull in a deeper, stronger position along my center-line. It tends to wear me out a bit in anything beyond a 100 at the moment. (Or maybe I'm not "pinching" correctly!)
Redbird,
Thanks for the reply. I was always taught to "round" my back to have a smooth surface underwater. I have never understood the purpose or been able to achieve that rounding but I can feel the "pinching"
