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.

Backstroke - still starting out, totally. Although my lifetime backstroke net distance is likely "good" as in form, but more as a relief.
Maybe it's my body telling me to swim upside-down for a change.
Is backstroke typically less demanding on shoulders than free?
I don't know if it any less demanding on the shoulders, but I like to kind of "unwind" in my warmups with some backstroke. Example: 200 Free, 100 Back, 200 Free, 100 Back. After the warmup, backstroke is evil (so is breaststroke) :)
