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.

    Natalie Coughlin swims with a straighter, flatter pull than the male backstrokers referenced above. It seems to work for her. I was listening to an interview with David Marsh. He seemed to think that the trend among backstrokers was to move toward a straighter pull. He said younger/weaker swimmers should probably stay with a pull with more elbow bend though
