This very affordable 94 page book uses a system of easy-to-master one-minute steps to teach you how to swim backstroke safely and efficiently with longer lasting results. It’s assumed you already know how to swim freestyle on your stomach and can float in a glide from a push off a wall or bottom.The value of learning to swim backstroke is so that in an emergency you are comfortable rolling over to your back to float and regain your breath. Early exhaustion leads to panic but knowing how to roll over and float can save your life and is a valuable skill to learn and know how to do.A similar sequence of skills is put in place like you learned for freestyle. You start out floating and how to do a back glide pushing off the pool wall in shallow water to a stand up position. Then the sequence follows what you did learning to swim freestyle. You go from a back glide with good body position to adding your bucket kick, and then alternate arm strokes.Breathing is less of a problem to overcome as your face is continuously out of water, but there are still important skills to learn about arm recovery and body rotation to gain more efficient power.
