Improve Your Backstroke Technique
Backstroke is a fun and rewarding stroke, and perfecting it takes time and dedication. Here are a few tips to help you on your way:
- Keep your body as flat as possible, lying at water level to reduce drag.
- Focus on a strong, steady kick. The flutter kick originates from the hips, not the knees.
- Keep your arms moving in continuous, circular motions.
- Use your shoulders to roll as you swim, which can help with propulsion.
- Remember to breathe regularly, ensuring proper alignment of the head with the spine.
