Back technology practice

The back crawl is very similar to the movement sequence of the classic crawl swim. The biggest difference lies in the supine position. This means that your mouth and nose are always out of the water, which eliminates coordination difficulties when breathing. As the technique is relatively easy to learn, this variant is particularly suitable for fitness athletes. The positive health effect of this variant is also a major advantage. People who sit a lot in everyday life in particular can benefit from training the muscles used in the back crawl. The gentle training of the back, gluteal, abdominal, shoulder and arm muscles can help with back pain or at least prevent it.

Of course, there are also some basic technical principles to follow when swimming backstroke. These include, above all, the body and head position as well as the correct arm stroke and leg stroke. A good swimming coach knows these and can support their customers with the right coaching points and various aids to help them recognize and relearn incorrectly learned techniques or practice the correct technique right from the start. During the lessons, the correct water position and head position are discussed first, followed by learning the correct arm stroke on land and in the water, and finally the correct technique is worked out step by step using methodical series in the water. Typical mistakes are discussed and corrective measures are shown.
