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.

How close should your pull be to your body? I have been a very slow backstroker but I think I am faster with a better body roll now that I pull closer to my body. Before my forearm/upper arm angle never got less than 90 degrees (i.e. a wide pull) nut now I am trying to always get that angle to be less than 90 degrees (i.e. hand closer to body).
What do those who know about backstroke think?
