With extraordinary underwater and above-water footage, this DVD presents 24 drills that will help you master the fundamentals of fast breaststroke.

In GO SWIM BACKSTROKE, Gold Medalist Jeff Rouse shares the key focus points that he uses to develop perfect backstroke technique. Jeff''s six focus points work for every level of swimmer -- novice to elite -- and you don't have to learn drills or change your normal workout routine in order to incorporate them into your stroke. You can start to apply them immediately, the next time you go to the pool. The extraordinary swimming footage of Jeff, combined with his clear, step-by-step instruction, will help take your backstroke to the next level.
