It’s….. S W I M F A C T F R I D A Y 💦🏊
Let us teach you about our favorite sport!

Today we’re going to talk about 1 of the 4 strokes: Backstroke!

While many think backstroke is an easier stroke- don’t let it fool ya!
Backstroke consists of keeping your core tight and hips up while flutter kicking and rotating your arms!
It is the ONLY stroke that allows you to breath the whole time! 🫁

🇳🇵🇳🇵Have you ever noticed the flags across the pool on both ends?? YEP, those are specifically for backstrokers. When backstrokers see the flags, we are able to count our strokes so we know when to turn or finish so we don’t hit our heads on the wall!

In our league, our 10U swimmers can compete in:
💦25 backstroke (1 length)

While our 11&UP swimmers can compete in:
🏊🏼50 backstroke (2 lengths

P.S Backstroke is Coach Sami’s favorite!
Who else likes backstroke??

Let us teach you about our favorite sport!

Did you know that swimming uses every muscle in your body???

It sure does!

In fact, it can be said that swimming is the most difficult sport! Why??? Well…

•we are moving through water which is 800x denser than air
•every movement we make is with resistance, requiring every muscle in your body to fire!
•we do so while being oxygen deprived

Swimming is an awesome workout because it engages all muscles, is awesome cardio and is zero-impact!
