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.

Interesting article by Mark Russell (with pics!) on backstroke rotation from USA Swimming site... For those of us who constantly wonder about how far and how deep:
www.usaswimming.org/ViewNewsArticle.aspx
A few quotes from the article:
"The rotation isn’t large – far from being all the way onto your side. Most of the best backstrokers rotate less than 30 degrees to each side. ... the amount of your body that is submerged in water will not be any different if your body is rotated 30 degrees or if it’s rotated 90 degrees. "
