Ideally you find yourself breathing at the point of maximum compression of your back (like the bow position in yoga). I hope you find it helpful. As for the backstroke drill we used the standard one arm drill so nothing new there. I’m looking forward to trying out the ‘hockey puck’ drill (this is Canada remember) where you swim balancing an object on your forehead, and especially some interesting underwater dolphin drills aimed at improving my rollover turns, but that’s for later.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382394444040541428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35127774.post-55170677980736224242007-01-02T08:54:00.000-08:002007-01-02T08:54:00.000-08:00I'm interested to try that breaststroke kick drill...I'm interested to try that breaststroke kick drill: that is a new one to me, and I am always looking for ways to switch things up.<br /><br />Were there specific drills for the backstroke?Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050282354531898285noreply@blogger.com
