Backstroke is a pretty easy stroke to get the mechanics of but the start can be very tricky! 🫣 in a backstroke start it’s important that your back and toes get up and out of the water when you push off to ensure you don't drag a bunch of water with you.💧 A great way to practice this is to put a mat or noodle underneath you and practice jumping backward over the mat!💪 Do you think you could do it?👀 📸: @swimtraining •••••#swimming #swimmer #swim #swimmingpool #swimpractice #swimlife #swimmeme
