Step one
Advanced backcrawl is for those of you who are now able to swim quite a few lengths without having to stop for a rest. Try getting the most out of every stroke.
You can do this by making each stroke longer and also by making each stroke more powerful. We will start by developing your arms. Each time your hand enters the water, your arm should be a straight as possible. As you enter let your hand move slightly down into the water, don't rush to start your pull until all of your hand, arm and shoulder are in the water. To make the most of your arm pull there are a number of things you can do.
