Workouts...minus backstroke

So...our community pools are open again, and I'm trying to get back in to working out in something that has lane lines and walls rather than fish and reef. However...there are no flags or a pace clock. The pace clock is ok, but the flags are a bummer. There's really nothing else to site on :badday:. Any suggestions for modifying workouts? Substitute free for all the back in the im's I want to do? I'm not sure what else to do... Thanks!Two quick solutions: 1) Pace Clock - if you have an apple device, download the free Pace Clock app (apps.apple.com/.../id465060982) and zip your phone into a zip lock bag. Prop it up against your water bottle. 2) No backstroke flags - simply count your strokes the whole lap. I assume you're used to counting strokes from the flags in ... just learn your stroke count for the whole lap. As an added bonus, counting your strokes for all strokes for all laps is a great way to focus on understanding and then improving your efficiency.
