The Backstroke Lane

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.

  • I use the block at meets, but I really do get a better start from the gutter. My teammate gave me this tip. I've found I get a better start without straining my back if I throw my hands a bit out and to the side, instead of straight over my head. My hands still come back together to streamline underwater, but I get more power and a faster start this way.
