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 agree with The Fortress. I know it can be hard to get a good start without the blocks to grab onto, though. I have had good luck with the advice to get my knees bent at 90 degrees before a backstroke start. It also looked like you were still getting into position and bouncing a bit when you started, so I'd recommend getting set into position really firmly before you do your start.
