🏊‍♂️ What is Backstroke? It’s the only competitive stroke swum on your back! Swimmers alternate arm strokes, rotate their bodies, and use a flutter kick, typically kicking three times for each stroke.First seen in the Olympics in 1900, backstroke evolved into its modern form by the 1930s. Races are held over 50, 100, and 200 yards/meters, each requiring a mix of speed and endurance. It’s also the second stroke in the individual medley and the first in a medley relay.

No matter how good your swim technique in backstroke is you're not going to win unless you have a fast stroke rate. We see a lot of swimmers that struggle to get their stroke rate up so we like to use the dolphin kick backstroke drill to teach them how to turn over faster. Once you master lower stroke rates using this drill, try increasing the tempo to see if you can keep up with the beep and before you know it you'll be swimming with competitive stroke rates in backstroke. Do you know what the

Following this (as demonstrated in this video), we focus on hyper-extending the arm during the recovery phase. Next, we incorporate the pulling motion in conjunction with the rotation. It is crucial tha

Backstroke stands out as the most efficient swimming stroke due to its minimal variation in speed between its fastest and slowest points. This makes it crucial to minimize drag and maximize stroke rate. To decrease drag, ensure your head is tilted back so that when your pinky finger enters into the water, a stream flows over your goggles. For enhanced propulsion, hyper extend your arm during recovery to guarantee effective rotation and bend the elbow during the pull. We employ a variety of swimm
