AU⚡️Improve your backstroke pull ⚡️
❗️ First, make sure you’ve got the fundamentals of body position and kick correct. To help you float, lengthen the spine and keep your eyes back. Your kick should be like a flutter, with the top of your foot brushing the surface.
Here are two drills to help you improve your backstroke pull power.
💡 Use fins during drills.
✅ 6-1-6: Kick for 6 seconds on your back/side with 1 arm extended. After 6 seconds swap the arms.
- Focus point: Rotation and arm position. Practice the rotated position by submerging the top shoulder underwater. Practice arm position by closing the gap between your arm and your head.
✅Single Arm: Perform a full backstroke pull with one arm only.
- Focus point: Water pressure. Really focus on what you feel on your palm. As you bend your elbow, your hand should face the back wall and you should feel pressure on your palm as you pull.
