A Time and Motion Study of Competitive Backstroke Swimming Turns

A time analysis and motion study of two methods of performing backstroke swimming turns was administered to a selected group of 50 swimmers, ages 18 and over, and an experimental group of 50 swimmers, ages 17 and under. Significant time differences between the experimental method and the universally...

description A time analysis and motion study of two methods of performing backstroke swimming turns was administered to a selected group of 50 swimmers, ages 18 and over, and an experimental group of 50 swimmers, ages 17 and under. Significant time differences between the experimental method and the universally used method were found for both groups. The majority of the swimmers achieved faster times using the experimental method. Utilizing underwater photography, motion studies determined that seven distinct body movements are eliminated when using the experimental method.
