The Backstroke Lane

ande
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.

    Pleeeeease? :bouncing: I really have been working hard on my backstroke :agree: because I would also like to improve my 50, in addition to my 400 IM. Backstroke used to be my worst (and slowest) stroke and I am finally swimming it faster than my breaststroke. I have two more videos from today and would be interested in your feedback. There are no starting blocks at my community pool, so I did my best to duplicate a backstroke start. Should my SDK (if you can call it that :rolleyes: ) be narrower kicks or is it ok; just not powerful enough? What improvements need to be made on my stroke? I have a developmental meet on Saturday and will attempt to race the 50 backstroke, following my 200 breaststroke :drowning:. I will also be swimming the 100 backstroke, in an upcoming meet at Auburn, as an extra event; one I have never attempted. So, any last minute advice would be most appreciated! Quicksilver? Wookiee?? Swimosaur?? ANYBODY?? :whiteflag: www.youtube.com/watch (Underwater view of start) www.youtube.com/watch "race". On this one, I know my start comes almost to a dead stop before I surface. It was my 9th start- at the end of my workout- and I had to really muster up the energy to get it into gear and keep moving!) Thank you very much! :smooch:
