SECOND CLASS SCOUT

Back Crawl

The back crawl, or racing back- stroke, has the advantages of speed and a faceup position. The leg motion is the flutter kick, and the arms work in a con- tinuous alternating motion with one pulling as the other recovers. Bring your arm out of the water at your hip and through the air to slice back into the water at a point above your head. Keep your fingers together and your hands cupped.
