    What’s your favorite Backstroke Drill? 🤔

      Definitely catch up
      The one where you do the catchup on your back but you hold your arm straight up and do catchup

      The one where you don’t have biological male athlete competing against biological females . What a disgrace

      You’re still swimming with NYAC, I’ll see you at a meet soon I’m sure. Just make sure to enter the Backstroke events, I’m not gonna be joining your in Breaststroke 😉

      Sure! I have had lots of injuries and many of them could’ve been prevented with the proper “prehab”

      Try it out in practice a couple times before going for it in a race, definitely took me a couple tries.

    Wow, Double arm pull! Is this better than the traditional freestyle pull before the turn? Nice video by the way. Subscribed!

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think it adds a degree of complexity that some swimmers enjoy and some don’t, but I love the speed boost into the wall - helps with a faster turn.

    can you make a video on butterfly too?
    by the way love your video's, an absolute must for swimmers
    keep up the good work

    I think my underwaters on my back are better than on stomach. 8 kicks gets me to 13m on my back form push and on my stomach I think it’s like 10 or 12

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Totally! Mine are definitely as well, it’s about repetition and learning how to get the most distance per kick (DPK) while maintaining speed. Play around with it!

    i cant stop hitting the laneline on backstroke, and head position isnt the issue

    What nose clips do you and backstrokeU recommend Kyle?

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Personally I'm not a nose clip guy...
      Wouldn't even know what to recommend. Not many at BackstrokeU used a nose clip.

    bro i have a question.. in backstroke kick do i bend my knees intentionally or let it straight and it be bend from water resistance

    • @KyleMillis
      @KyleMillis  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s a bit of both, you don’t want to BEND your knees, but there will be some natural bend as your kick up and down throughout your freestyle kick.
      I’d say bend with water resistance but try and keep your Leg straight throughout.
