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?
Thanks for this, and thanks for thinking about it! I like your comparison to skating.
I recognized my duck feet were (and are) an issue, I've been training with two different fins that are supposed to "retrain" your feet to point in. The Aquasphere Alphafin (which I love because I can keep up with the really fast swimmers when wearing these) and the Finis PDF fins (which honestly are better, because they require much more work when using).
I believe that my head position still is a huge issue as well as just building the core strength necessary to back stroke properly.....I'm going to get some video hopefully so I can see what's really going on and let this group help also.
Thanks again.
