Our friends at ProSwimwear host Speedo's video about swimming Backstroke. The swimmer you see has good technique because he's learned and practiced for many years. See how he pushes his hands all the way past his hips for the longest stroke possible? Where do his eyes look when he swims?

There’s lots of big words used in this video, and you may not understand most of them. Try watching with no sound! It’s possible to learn about what they’re showing just by watching, even if you don’t listen.

What activities can I do at home to practice swimming skills outside of the water? Well, these young skateboarders at SwimWest got creative and came up with an idea!
