Swimming - Backstroke drill with a bottle שחייה

[dmdml]

I heard that for sprint the head is slightly raised, looking not at the ceiling but toward the other end of the pool, so perhaps the bottle only applies to slower swims? Thanks for the vid.

Apparently we can't attach a link. Please search for a clip on YouTube named "2009 | Ryosuke Irie | World Record | 152.86 | Men's 200m Backstroke | 10 May 2009". Irie known as the water bottle kid for his famous practices... This is how he practices...

I would like to see better underwater video of this.

A short answer: RELAXATION :-)

Your limbs should be very relaxed - saves energy...

How do you make so little splash when you raise your arm out of the water? Thanks for the vids.
