Totally agree with the necessity of learning back stroke to help your freestyle. Main thing it does, that I can tell, is you use your back muscles in a totally different way for back stroke. This compliments the way you use them for freestyle, if that makes any sense....
It does! Lots of my students are trying to focus on one or another stroke, while I’m advocating for learning multiple strokes at the same time, for the reason you mentioned in your comment! Thank you
I have never been able to swim breast stroke. My feet will not turn out enough to get any power on that kick. I am very pigeon toes/toes turn in. That is an advantage for flutter and dolphin kick, but only could do breast stroke with the scissor kick....
The weird thing is, you're explaining concepts and corrections that I've heard so many times, yet your word choice and video examples are so clear and accurately convey my mistakes. Thank you so much. Subscribed. Notifications on. 👍🏾

@robohippy, that's fine. You can do it with freestyle kick too… or even the dolphin kick
