Backstroke rotation happens at the ends of the stroke.

It happens as the hands enter and it happens when the hands as the exit.

It happens all at once and it happens FAST.

It’s not a gradual process.

Train it!

[Derby Phoenix Swimming Club @DerbyPhoenix]

Good Luck to all swimmers including our very own Helen Sharratt, Alfie Lynch, James Missin & Roisin Power 💚💛
