Backstroke |
The arm cycle Recovery Thumb first, arm fully extended, rotate the arm laterally through the shoulder joint, keeping in line with the body, gradually turning the hand laterally at the wrist ready for the entry. Allowing the opposite shoulder to drop will lift the recovery shoulder to help balance the stroke and create a more powerful propulsive phase. Entry & Catch Little finger first, drop the shoulder to allow a reach and "catch" the water with the hand cupped. The arm should flex slightly at the elbow to assist in the catch. Down Sweep Continue to flex the arm at the elbow as you press laterally, then downwards as you pull the hand towards the shoulder and chest, keeping that shoulder in the drop position. Press With the arm close to the body, press the water towards the feet in line with the body, ensuring full arm extension is achieved. For your legs yoy just have to do continues flutter kick. |
