Backstroke

Note:  there are 2 trains of thought for Backstroke – conventional wisdom says that there should be a downsweep at the end of the stroke in which the hand/wrist flips downward toward the bottom of the pool as it extends/completes the stroke.  Newer wisdom as trained by www.swimmingtechnology.com trains a ‘push’ at the end of the stroke by bending the wrist backwards as it completes the full stroke, pushing water to the toes as long as possible.  Their method trains to maximize the forward propulsive phase of the stroke as much as possible.
