Basic Backstroke Technique

This one of our swimming videos shows basic backstroke technique. You can see that the majority of the power is produced by the alternating arm technique and its horizontal streamlined body position gives it its efficiency. Therefore this is the preferred stroke in competitive races swum on the back.

The legs kick in an alternating action, continuously up and down to help balance the action of the arms. Ideally there should be 6 leg kicks to one arm cycle as in this video clip.
