Check out the video below depicting the backstroke technique of Ryan Lochte. Sadly, this stroke is one of my weaker points, but it's still enjoyable to swim it on the occasion. Remember when doing backstroke it's essential to keep close your arms close to your ear, and to pull with strength underneath the body. Before a race, if there is a warm up take the time to count the amount of strokes taken before the wall in order to know what spot is good enough to execute a tumble turn at. If it isn't done properly in a race your time will not only be slower but it also could cost you the race depending on how bad the turn ends up. Focus on keeping your head straight up. If you follow these key tips you should be on your way to shaving off time on your backstroke.
