	Matthew Dear - Backstroke
		Following hot on the heels of his universally-acclaimed Leave Luck to Heaven, Matthew Dear returns with the mini-LP Backstroke, on which he expands his stylistic boundaries and solidifies his place as not only a master of micro-house, but also as a major force in experimental pop.
		Showing a healthy heart at the core of the machine, the oddball pop of Backstroke accomplishes what few records can: an overwhelmingly successful fusion of disparate elements that work erfectly under the guidance of a relentlessly clever and innovative mind.
		On Backstroke, Dear, who recently made Detroit his home, continues to speak about relationships, the generation gap, and even the future, while expanding his beats to include a Paradise Garage-like disco effect on 'And in the Night.' The album is sure to be a summer classic." -Earplug

		Finally, breathing technique should be analysed to ensure that when you breathe your overall technique is not disrupted in any way that would cause a breakdown in efficiency.
		Because of the required shoulder roll during backstroke swimming and a slightly weaker arm cycle, the legs play a more important part in adding a propulsive force to the stroke.
		The key, however, is to ensure that the feet work just under the water surface and not above it, to ensure that the full kicking movement is propulsive and not against thin air.

		Four years later in 1996, at 22 years of age, she returned for another Olympics in Atlanta winning the gold for the third time in the 200m backstroke and a bronze in the 400m individual medley.

	Total Immersion Swimming
		If you'd asked me two years ago what my worst stroke was, I would, without hesitation, have replied "Backstroke." I was fastest in freestyle, with butterfly a close second, but my backstroke was no faster than my breaststroke (not that my breaststroke set a lofty standard).
		I found this puzzling because backstroke was one of the two strokes I’d been doing longest.
		As I worked through the TI backstroke drills with this recognition, all went smoothly until I reached the advanced drills that more closely resembled whole-stroke swimming.
