This backstroke technique just helped set a national record.
Sara Curtis kept her head submerged in backstroke reducing frontal drag and unlocking serious speed. And the exciting part is, this is exactly what we teach at The Race Club.
By keeping the head submerged, swimmers cut through the water with less resistance and less drag always means more speed.
This video breaks down how it works, who did it first, and why it might be the future of fast backstroke.
