How To Guide: Backstroke With Zoggs And Simply Swim

The backstroke, or back crawl, uses alternating and opposite arm movements. As one arm pulls through the water from an overhead position to the hip, the other arm recovers above the water from the hip to the overhead position and vice versa.

The legs perform a flutter kick, similar to the one used in the front crawl.

The backstroke is, as the name suggests, the only one of the four competitive swimming strokes swum on the back.

The backstroke is swum in a horizontal position on the back. However, the body rolls a little from side to side, following the arm movements.

As a consequence, the shoulder of the arm that is currently pulling back in the water is lower than the shoulder of the arm that is recovering forward above water.

While the body rolls from side to side, the head remains in a neutral position, face up. Ideally, it should be possible to swim backstroke with a small bottle on your forehead without it falling off.
