The Backstroke Lane

over 14 years ago
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.

    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. Thanks Fort; I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I can see my kick is needing, uhhhh, a lot of improvement. I have been working on it with fins, but I have a looong way to go! As for my turnover, it feels like I am turning over fast, but I watch the video and just laugh at the slow-mo look of it. I will keep working on it! Thanks!
