![]() Thanks for that tip, Bob. I'll give it a try next time I'm at the pool. I have hit my head on the side wall in the past, though, from getting disoriented after a crooked push-off, so it's not all optimism (;-).

![]() +1 here on crooked backstroke.
I thought it was mostly out-of-whack arms that was doing it for me, but one of the lifeguards at my pool pointed out that my hips were sort of wiggling out of line -- they weren't rotating the same way my shoulders were. Don't know if that's happening to you, but I thought I'd mention it because I don't know if I would have noticed it myself. The crookedness improves when I'm streamlined and aware of rotating around my core and not reaching outward with my entry arm/hand. |

![]() Took the words right out of my mouth.
I also feel an extra steady head position can help here too. Although I'm an occasional lane bumper myself, especially outdoors, I can verify Coach's suggestion and even incorporate that practice into whole stroke as 'backskate' one stroke 'backskate' two strokes 'backskate' three strokes and so on. |
