I see some age groupers getting real good results grabbing the gutter and placing feet a bit lower. They come right out and get clean entries just like the bar grabbers. Is this just a developmental thing, or can Masters benefit? I think the added buoyancy by staying low in the water at the start creates a stronger pushoff and slingshot?
I prefer doing my backstroke only in events that don't require a backstroke start.
Agreed! Like Alison (Swimshark), my backstroke starts are more like a backflop. :afraid:A previous back and shoulder surgery makes backstroke starts painful. I'll stick with IM's, in addition to breaststroke! :D
