Veteran  266   Cincinnati |  Subject: Need a quick swimming tipI have doing most of my swimming in an outdoor pool and my swim routine includes some backstroke. Does anyone have a tip for backstroking in a straight line when you don't have the marks on the ceiling to follow? |

Master 1572  PA | Subject: RE: Need a quick swimming tip try to stay close to the lane line. I am always within a few inches of it. My hand goes underneath the other lane when it's underwater b/c i'm that close to the lane line. Is just takes time/practice. |
