@swim.better: Body position is a huge 🔑 to backstroke and is often overlooked by coaches and swimmers alike. Save yourself some energy and some time on the clock by prioritizing a GREAT body position. The 2 most common mistakes I see working with swimmers: 1️⃣ chin too tucked - looking at your feet 2️⃣ chin too high - pushing the whole head up and out of the water (even with the eyes staying staight up). To fix these, I tell my swimmers to think about giving themselves a “double chin” by tucking their head back in line with their spine while looking straight above them. The difference this makes from a drag perspective cannot be understated. Low hips and feet will slow you down much more than you might realize. #swim #swimmer #swimbetter #swimcoach #swimmingcoach #backstroke #backstrokedrills #swimdrills #swimteam #swimtechnique #swimcoaching #sandiegoswimcoach #swimtime #swimtraining #swimtips #100back #olympicswimming #swimtok
