🏊‍♂️ Most swimmers pull too deep on backstroke and wonder why their shoulders hurt 🌊 When your arm digs down, you lose connection with the surface and overload the shoulder instead of using the stronger back and core muscles. 💡 The real power in backstroke comes from the surface. 🏁 Rotate your shoulders, keep your arm close to the top of the water, and feel steady pressure through the full pull. 🤿 Your hand should feel light but controlled, with a soft bend in the elbow. That’s how you stay

In backstroke, pulling with a straight arm increases drag and reduces stroke rate. Think of it like hitting a home run in baseball. Although a straight arm might provide a stronger pull, it significantly slows you down and consumes more energy. Aim to hit singles with your backstroke pulling motion.
