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?
Really? It doesn't seem to apply to my case, though. I hardly kick because kicking slows me down (I'm bad in that). Are there others who barely kick or use 2-beat kick in backstroke?
I prefer a small steady kick on the surface for backstroke. Very streamline/aerodynamic.
A coach told me I need to kick more on the last lap of my 100 Back. I committed to trying it. But for me, the deeper harder kick was slower - and I could feel it. I wasn't dying, but I could literally feel the drag.
Now the 200 Free is a whole different story :)
The last 50 of that race requires a huge kick and I have to work on that!
