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.

  • Should the finish of the stroke involve a flick down of the hand in order to initiate body roll? If not, how is body roll initiated as I have a hard time accepting that it is the kick? Also should hand scull on exit or knife out on exit? "Flick Down" puts your hand deeper in the water, that extra little push probably isn't worth it. ON exit, finish your stroke then pop your hand out thumb first. You don't need to do an extra little scull.
