New swimmer.....basically just learned back stroke 2-3 months ago. I cannot figure out the timing of my stroke, I feel like my hands get stuck at my hips? When exactly should my one arm be starting recovery phase? In other words, should my arms always be 180 degrees from each other?
OK that info helps..
Are you dropping "your elbow enough to have the hand catch and "throw" the water down towards you feet?
Are you pulling out too wide with the are too straight? your hand should follow a path like taking a ball and throwing it down towards you feet if you were standing up.
Are you keeping your head back to look up not at the feet?
Are you kicking up to the water surface?
