Backstroke
Time key frames:
0:46 – 1:31: Your arms should enter in line with your shoulders, keeping them very close to your head, right know you have them going in too wide. You improved a lot the last day,
1:12 – Your hips are a bit bend, try to stretch them more, bring them as close to the surface as possible.
You need to grab and pull the water strong every time, the more strokes doesn’t mean you will go faster on the contrary, you will go slower and get more tired.
1:51 – You are moving your knees up and down too much (specially the right one), yes is ok to bend the knee to kick but you do not have to move it up and down too much. The kick should come from your core, not only the knees.
2:08 – Good rotation 🙂
Areas to work on, in general:
- Work on one thing at the time. Focus one day on one thing, then the next day another point, do not try to correct it all at once.

2:08 – Good rotation 🙂
Areas to work on, in general:
- Overall your freestyle is good. Be sure to practice sets like counting your strokes and reducing them so you start to have a stronger pull and grab more water.
- Make sure to correct the pulling part by opening your elbow to pull better and not with your arm straight.
