specifically fly and free? I've always liked backstroke. I want to add it to my repertoire even though I'll likely never be very good at it. I notice it seems to tax my shoulders and legs in ways my body isn't used to - but maybe this is a good thing if it is strengthening my weaknesses?
I suggest doing some homework to find a coach who understands backstroke or a good technique backstroker - and enlist their help.
Learning how to properly swim a competitive backstroke created a huge break through for me.
There is a lot of finesse and aerodynamics involved in backstroke, but then each of the stroke specialists will say that about their strokes.
The act of breaking down and re-learning a new stroke (backstroke) opened my eyes to the possibilities in my other strokes.
For some people it is really hard to slow it all down and re-learn.
But I love those EZ technique 25s.
I could do a million of them and no one could convince me any of it was junk yardage.
