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.

Any negative criticism for me? learned this stroke this summer. I train alone
Not bad at all for a recently learned stroke. I like your private lane By the way.
Two very obvious things..
1.) Keep your arms straight on the recovery. The elbow should be locked so that the arm is never bent. (see attached)
When the arm enters the water it wants to come downward with a clean slice.
2.) Did you notice in the video how your hands are thrashing water upwards on each exit? (see attached) You want them to come out clean...thumb first.
Think pinky in on the entry...and thumb out on the exit.
