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?

I don't think I'm dropping my arms enough, but I feel it's because of a lack of rotation? The problem is the more I put into the rotation, the more fatiguing the stroke.
I don't think my arms are too straight on the pull, I like your analogy though and will try that though process
I've been experimenting with head position a lot. My issue is that I'm really bottom heavy (I was a speed skater until 1-1/2 years ago)If I don't look straight up, my butt and legs really sink
I've been working a lot on my kick, I can comfortably do streamline kicking on my back form many lengths, but when I add the arms it goes bad!
