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.

Back when I was first seeing a PT for tendinitis in my right shoulder, he took a look at my stroke. (Handy to have a swimming expert PT with a pool at the hospital where he works!) He told me I was overreaching and that when done right it would feel as if my arm was entering at 45º. That does help cure the wobbles since your hand enters where it will begin its pull, and doesn't have to sweep out first.
