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.

Seemed pretty stout to me! Nice swim.
One thing I noted on your turn, at about the 12 second mark, look at your head position. Your head/face is up and looking at the wall. You really want to prevent this by ensuring that the head tucks and follows the last pulling hand down and thru.
Silly as it sounds, that slight lift of the head steals momentum from your turn, and will actually make your foot placement shallower on the wall prior to the push off.
