Indoor swimmers have an advantage for back crawl: the ceiling.Swim-backglide

Use the ceiling to your advantage to pick a beam that runs parallel with where you are swimming and follow it. Not only does this help with body position in the water in getting the hips and feet up at the surface of the water, but it will also help with ensuring that you swim straight and thus decrease the energy it take to get from point ‘a’ to ‘b’ in the pool.

Sport and Wellness offers private and group swim lessons and Masters Swim to help you keep fit in the pool. Visit MacEwan.ca/SportandWellness for more information or to learn about the swim instructors.
