Backstroke progression

First thing we had to address was his kick technique. It was evident that it was knee driven (especially when you viewed it from the side). We then moved on to his body position and worked on his streamline. We suspect he may not have the physical capability to hold a tight streamline so we manipulated it by getting him to streamline with his palms facing inwards to each other. *Disclaimer: This is not a long term solution but rather a quick fix." This inward facing palm drill into a swim also helped emphasised the importance of locking your arms on the recovery of the stroke.
