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?
That's pretty wrong. For real balance, you need to do dryland. Backstroke and freestyle use most of the same muscles to do the work.
Yeah, I posted that quickly, got distracted by incoming email. What I meant was that she thought the balance came from the arms going in a new direction, kind of like when you do arm circles clockwise, followed by counter-clockwise. For me, switching it up feels good, like a break after freestyle, because my backstroke is just that slow.
