Tips for Better Backstroke

[@helenwang6940]

Thank you James! 👍😊

Very helpful. Maybe now I can swim backstroke straight outside!!! Inside I can use the ceiling beams as a cheat. Outside no way to cheat. Clouds move !!!

How do you fix sinking legs? I have muscular legs that just sink. So if I get chin close to the chest, it sinks even more so I tend to lean my head back to raise my legs.

Off the top of my head, there are four possible causes: 1. Toes aren't pointed the entire time, so the feet are dragging the legs down 2. Weak kick that is either too big (flutter kick is speed-based so big kicks will just hit resistance and drag you down) or just not conditioned well 3. Weak core and not actively engaging it to lift the hips 4. Chin tucked Hope that helps, good luck!
