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.

OK, Forumites, I have finally gotten up the nerve to post new videos of my pathetically slow backstroke. As a breaststroker, backstroke is my weakness in the 100IM and I would really like to improve on it. Any constructive criticism would be most appreciated!
http://youtu.be/_lETm_DKLLo - Believe it or not ( :lmao: ), this is my race pace backstroke!
http://youtu.be/GW0kTmVdRqQ -This is my EZ backstroke; I look like an old lady... :blush:
You have to dolphin kick on your back like you mean it, lady! The key problem is that your hips and legs are sinking. This can be cured principally by using your legs and developing a stronger kick to drive the stroke (faster turnover might help you too). I can see you're trying to rotate, but you would be rotating your body instead of just your shoulders if you kicked more.
