Backstroke <br />If your swimmer is competent at performing Pat the Dog, then the backstroke arms can be introduced. Just like Freestyle, we simplify the stroke when first teaching it and use a technique called Single-arm Backstroke. Just like Catch-up freestyle, Single-arm makes it easy for a child to understand and perform the skill that’s being asked. If they find this easy, then simply move on to traditional (Olympic) Backstroke. <br /><br />Four easy steps to Backstroke: <br />1. Standing Single-arm <br />2. Single arm drills <br />3. Standing Olympic Backstroke <br />4. Olympic Backstroke
